Abstract: With the method, mobile data carriers (IM) are initialized at assigned decentralized read and write stations (WR) within the framework of an authorization system (A). At an authorization authority (HA) in a secure environment (g) initialization data (DI, A-I, I-I) are generated by authorization means (AM) and are sent to a decentralized authorized read and write station (A-WR) over a network (N) in a secure communication and with security rules in correspondence with the authorization system (A), where the mobile data carriers (IM) are initialized with the initialization data (DI), and/or wherein the initialization data are sent to a decentralized read and write station (WR) over the network, by means of which the read and write station is initialized. This initialization method enables new possibilities for the application and exploitation of systems of this kind.

Abstract: With the method, mobile data carriers (IM) are initialised at assigned decentralised read and write stations (WR) within the framework of an authorisation system (A). At an authorisation authority (HA) in a secure environment (g) initialisation data (DI, A-I, I-I) are generated by authorisation means (AM) and transmitted to a decentralised authorised read and write station (A-WR) through a network (N) in a secure communication and with security rules in correspondence with the authorisation system (A), where the mobile data carriers (IM) are initialised with the initialisation data (DI), and/or wherein the initialisation data are transmitted to a decentralised read and write station (WR) through the network, by means of which the read and write station is initialised. This initialisation method makes possible new possibilities for the application and exploitation of systems of this kind.
