  • Patent number: 8307202
    Abstract: The invention relates to method and system for using PKCS and especially PKCS#10 registration standard on a mobile environment and in particularly in a WPKI (Wireless PKI) environment comprising a registration server and a client provided with a key pair is provided only with a part of the certificate request info defined on the PKCS registration standard. A PKCS registration structure is formed by the client of said part of the certificate request info and the public key to be registered, after which a verifying code is determined using at least part of said formed PKCS registration structure. Finally said verifying code and the public key are delivered to the registration server advantageously without delivering said part of the certificate request info received at first by the client.

  • Publication number: 20080130879
    Abstract: The invention relates to method and system for a secure PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) key registration process in a WPKI (Wireless PKI) environment comprising a registration server and client provided with a key pair. Especially the invention relates to a registration method, where a registration request for a public key of the key pair is formed using second and only part of the first information provided to a client in separated communication connections. The formed registration request comprising the public key is then provided with a verifying code determined over the request to the registration server in order to register the public key.

  • Patent number: 6598142
    Abstract: The present invention provides, for use in telecommunication systems, a system and method enabling implementation of dynamic memory management in a subscriber identity module via an application or management system stored in the subscriber identity module. The memory regions in the subscriber identity module can be dynamically allocated to store or accommodate customers' and service providers' own applications, and the amount of information that the system operator need to store relating to the memory structures of and stored applications in subscriber identity modules that it owns or controls is significantly reduced.

  • Publication number: 20020116513
    Abstract: A method for sending information from a server (S) to a mobile station (MS) which comprises a mobile equipment (ME) and a Subscriber Identity Module, or SIM. The mobile equipment (ME) communicates with the network (RAN) by a first protocol which supports sending an arbitrarily long data stream. The server (S) sends a first data stream (1a) via the network (RAN) to the mobile equipment (ME) using the first protocol. The mobile equipment (ME) uses the first data stream (1a) for generating a second data stream (2) and sends the second data stream (2) to the SIM by emulating reception of one or more connectionless messages. Alternatively, the mobile equipment (ME) may generate or receive locally the information (1b) to be sent to the SIM.
