Abstract: There is disclosed a method for facilitating transactions carried out by a mobile device, wherein: the mobile device executes a smart card application; the smart card application receives a cryptographic algorithm from a transaction server external to the mobile device; the smart card application further receives transaction data from said transaction server; the cryptographic algorithm encrypts said transaction data and stores the encrypted transaction data in a storage unit of the mobile device. Furthermore, a corresponding computer program product and a corresponding mobile device for carrying out transactions are disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system are provided. A first request for satellite navigation data is provided to a vehicle to everything V2X receiver. Satellite navigation data recovered from a V2X message is received from the V2X receiver. The satellite navigation data is provided to a satellite navigation system receiver. The satellite navigation data comprises the data required by the satellite navigation system receiver to perform a hot start.

Abstract: A time manager controls one or more timing functions on a circuit. The time manager includes a data storage and a time calculator. The data storage device stores a first indication of a performance characteristic of a memory cell at a first time. The data storage device also stores a second indication of the performance characteristic of the memory cell at a second time. The time calculator is coupled to the data storage device. The time calculator calculates a time duration between the first time and the second time based on a change in the performance characteristic of the memory cell from the first indication to the second indication.

Abstract: It is described an electronic circuit chip for an RFID tag. The electronic circuit chip comprises (a) an access circuit configured for coupling the electronic circuit chip to an antenna element of the RFID tag, and (b) a memory device being connected to the access circuit. The memory device is configured for storing a secret value, for making retrievable the secret value, and for deleting the secret value. Deleting the secret value is accomplished if the secret value has been retrieved by means of a first attempt procedure for retrieving the stored secret value. It is further described an RFID tag comprising such an electronic circuit chip and a method for managing the use of a read-only-once secret value by an RFID tag with such an electronic circuit chip.
