Abstract: A centralized gateway server receives a first user request, configured to operate with a first development platform, indicating a first operation to be performed on behalf of a first user. The centralized gateway server generates a first service request for performing the first operation, and transmits the first service request to a server associated with a service, to cause the server to perform the first operation on behalf of the first user. The centralized gateway server also receives a second user request indicating a second operation. The second user request is configured to operate with a second development platform different from the first development platform. The centralized gateway server generates a second service request for performing the second operation, and transmits the second service request to the server to cause the server to perform the second operation.

Abstract: A method of adaptive generation of a profile package is constructed to install a profile in the eUICC. The method includes adaptive generation of a code package constructed to install an executable code in the device. A batch of multiple profile (or code) descriptions is provided. The target eUICC/target device or some other competent instance is arranged to provide the transfer server with configuration information of the target eUICC/target device. The transfer server retrieves, instead of a ready-made profile (code) package (eSIM), only a profile (code) description and profile (code) data. The transfer server then generates the profile package adaptively, there-in flexibly considering the configuration information on the target eUICC/target device. By this adaptive way of profile generation, profile packages matching with the real target eUICC/target device are generated. Such a matching profile package can be successfully installed in the eUICC.

Abstract: A method for setting up a subscriber identity module for agreeing one or several exchange keys, between a subscriber identity module and a provisioning server includes generating one or several exchange keys from keys of the provisioning server and of the subscriber identity module on a production server and are transmitted into the subscriber identity module and stored, so that the subscriber identity module is put particularly into a state as though it had generated the exchange keys itself. In a method for agreeing one or several exchange keys, between a subscriber identity module and a provisioning server, the subscriber identity module sends its public key to the provisioning server, which subsequently generates the exchange keys.

Abstract: A method for the transition is provided from a Boolean masking of a value to be kept secret to an additive masking of the value to be kept secret. The value to be kept secret is present in the Boolean masking as a representation masked with a first Boolean mask and a second Boolean mask. A first additive mask and a second additive mask are determined for the value to be kept secret. A first masking transition is executed in which the first Boolean mask is converted into the first additive mask. A second masking transition is executed in which the obfuscation value is converted into an additive correction value, and a third masking transition is executed in which the second Boolean mask is converted into the second additive mask.

Abstract: A flat security element has a main plane and microreflector arranged in a microreflector pattern and present at least one motif that, when the security element is tilted, has a motif effect that relates to the main plane. The microreflector pattern causes a first and a second motif effect, wherein the first motif effect occurs during a tilting movement about a primary axis, if the security element is at the same time oriented within a first tilting angle range about a secondary axis, and the second motif effect occurs during the tilting movement about the primary axis, if the security element is at the same time oriented within a second tilting angle range about the secondary axis.

Abstract: A flat security element with microreflectors arranged as a microreflector pattern in a main plane of the security element. The microreflectors present a motif made up of image points to a viewer. The motif appears for the viewer as lying outside the main plane of the security element. Two of the microreflectors are adjusted in each case to produce one of the image points of the motif appearing for the viewer as lying outside the main plane. The microreflector pattern has several groups of microreflectors. Each of the groups is provided to represent to the viewer a perspective view of the motif after tilting the security element about an axis lying in the main plane. Image points of the motif are shifted by shift ranges of different sizes through the tilting.

Abstract: The invention provides a method that allows an issuer system, e.g. of a bank, to have generated a plurality of anonymous accounts and cards for working up a stock and to only personalize them individually if required. In the personalization step at the card issuer, e.g. in the bank branch, a printing of the back side does not have to be performed, instead all the necessary printing of the back side is already effected at the card manufacturer during the manufacturing of the anonymous card. As a result, a simple, low-cost printer without a back-side printing option can be utilized for the personalization of the anonymous card.
