Patent number: 9953310Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing a plurality of virtual secure elements (virtual SEs) to mobile devices with secure elements (SEs). A method generates and forwards a certificate authority security domain (CASD) key for a plurality of virtual SEs to an SE supplier that created the CASD. The method receives a card serial number (CSN) and a card production life cycle (CPLC) key from the SE supplier and forwards these to a mobile device maker. An updated CSN and CPLC data is received from the device maker with an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) and an issuer security domain key (ISD key) is added to the CSN and CPLC data by a master secure element issuer trusted service manager (master SEI TSM). An application is provisioned to the device that retrieves the CSN, CPLC data, and the IMEI, which are used for to verify and activate the virtual SE.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventor: Theresa L.

Patent number: 9916576Abstract: Described are methods and systems for remotely personalizing a payment device. In an embodiment, a trusted service provider (TSP) personalization server receives a payment device personalization request from a remote personalization device (RPD), determines that a hardware security token (HST) permits issuance of the payment device, and transmits a personalization data request to an issuer. The TSP personalization server then receives the requested personalization data from a Mobile Over-the-Air Provisioning Service (MOTAPS) server, generates session keys, converts data from the MOTAPS server into payment device application process data unit (APDU) data, and then transmits the personalization data and APDU data to the RPD to load onto a payment device.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Colin Tanner, Paul Michael Evans, Theresa L.

Patent number: 9552574Abstract: According to some embodiments, an over-the-air (“OTA”) provision services receives a request to provision a temporary payment account to a customer's mobile device. The request includes customer data and a temporary primary account number (“PAN”). A process includes mapping the temporary PAN to a mobile PAN, storing the temporary PAN in a mapping database, generating a software package comprising a payment application and the mobile PAN, and transmitting the software package OTA to the customer's mobile device. The software package personalizes the customer's mobile device with the mobile PAN enabling use of that mobile device to utilize the temporary PAN to complete payment transactions shortly after the processor receives the request.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventor: Theresa L.
