  • Patent number: 10200348
    Abstract: A method is to detect a message compatible with the OTA (Over The Air) standard and affected by a wrong ciphering. The method may include receiving the ciphered OTA message; deciphering the OTA message; and reading a counter field of padding bytes in the deciphered OTA message and reading corresponding padding bytes in the OTA message deciphered. The method may also include detecting at least one bit in at least one of the padding bytes of the OTA message deciphered, with the at least one bit being indicative of the wrong ciphering.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7942333
    Abstract: A method for an entity different than a manufacturer of an integrated circuit (IC) card to perform a secure personalization phase of the semi-finished IC card is provided. The semi-finished IC card includes a non-volatile memory storing an algorithm for processing data as a finite-state machine, and enabling the entity different from the IC card manufacturer to access the algorithm for storing personalization data and information in the non-volatile memory. The method includes performing a security authentication before enabling the algorithm to receive the personalization data and information, enabling the algorithm to receive the personalization data and information, and storing the personalization data and information in secret memory locations in the non-volatile memory according to a data structure and an access procedure hidden to the entity different from the manufacturer of the integrated circuit card.
