  • Publication number: 20160155111
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for securing a validation process of an online payment transaction. During an online transaction on a mobile device, it is requested a contactless tap from a contactless display card (thanks to NFC reader mode in the mobile device) to establish a contactless exchange session. During this contactless exchange session, the display card receives the amount requested for the transaction and the identification of merchant. The user is invited to check amount and merchant identification on the screen of the display card. When the user validates the transaction by for example pressing on a corresponding button then the display card creates an authorization message comprising enciphered financial user information and data on the transaction. With a second tap from the display card, the mobile device receives the authorization message which is transmitted to the display card issuer through the merchant for validation.

  • Patent number: 9294919
    Abstract: A method for exporting on a UICC in a terminal. An export request signed by the UICC, is transmitted by the terminal to a secure server. The server verifies the signed export request by comparing the signature and the identity of the UICC. The server sends a signed export certificate to the UICC via the terminal. An export package containing the data is prepared, signed and encrypted by the UICC, and sent to the terminal. The terminal transmits the export package to the server. The server signs an acknowledgment message and transmits it to the UICC via the terminal. In the UICC, the data that have been exported is destroyed, and a signed acknowledge message is sent to the server via the terminal. The server makes the data available for a further transfer to a new terminal or UICC.
