  • Publication number: 20160212617
    Abstract: An eUICC 100 embedded in an UE 200 authenticates an AUTN transmitted from an HSS 300, and calculates a transfer key TK by using a secret key K. The eUICC 100 acquires a transfer Token by decoding an enc Token by using the transfer key TK, and acquires a new Customer ID by decoding an enc New ID by using the transfer key TK. The eUICC 100 transmits a user auth resp in response to a User auth+transfer Setup Req including the AUTN, the enc Token, and the enc New ID to the HSS 300. The eUICC 100 generates a shared-Secret Key shared between the eUICC 100 and an HSS 400 by using the transfer Token, and executes an attach procedure for the HSS 400 by using the generated shared-Secret Key and the new Customer ID.

  • Patent number: 8306919
    Abstract: Between an IC card (1) and a electronic ticket server (2), upon purchasing an electronic ticket a public key cryptosystem is employed for a mutual authentication to keep a strict security, and a shared secret between the electronic ticket and a ticket collecting machine is sent on a secure channel as well as the electronic ticket. Upon usage of the electronic ticket, the IC card (1) and the ticket collecting machine (6) mutually judge whether they carry out the mutual authentication by using a public key cryptosystem or a symmetric key cryptosystem. When they determine to use the symmetric key cryptosystem, they carry out the mutual authentication by using the shared secret exchanged beforehand. When they determine to use the public key cryptosystem, they carry out the mutual authentication by using the same method as that used upon purchasing the electronic ticket.

  • Patent number: 7882030
    Abstract: Each IC card 1 notifies a server 3 of the ID of the IC card and the connection information of a terminal device to which the IC card is connected. The server 3 stores the ID and the connection information in a database 4 while associating the ID and the connection information with each other. When an IC card 1 communicates with another IC card, the IC card 1 requests the connection information concerning the destination IC card from the server 3 while specifying the ID of this IC card. The server 3 searches the database 4 for the connection information corresponding to the ID specified by the request, and notifies the requesting IC card 1 of the acquired connection information. This enables communications between IC cards even if the terminal device to which a destination IC card is connected has been changed in the past.
