Abstract: In a method for processing top-up data, a server (8) receives data related to a request for issuing an NFC application (9). The data were sent by an NFC mobile device (3) and are intended for a Service Provider (2). At the server (8) transformed data are generated by transforming the data related to the request into a format complying with the Server Provider (2). The transformed data are sent to the Service Provider (2) for further processing and issuing the NFC application (9) to the mobile device (3) particularly utilizing a Trusted Service Manager (1).

Abstract: MIFARE applications (MIA) are organized in at least one sector comprising sector data being arranged in data blocks and a sector trailer. A compressing method for MIFARE application comprises: searching for consecutive occurrences of same data values in the sector data and replacing the detected consecutive data having the same data value by a sequence comprising said data value and a number indicating the number of consecutive sector data having that data value; and/or searching for all different sector trailer values and replacing all sector trailers by references to respective ones of the different sector trailer values.

Abstract: In a method for processing top-up data, a server (8) receives data related to a request for issuing an NFC application (9). The data were sent by an NFC mobile device (3) and are intended for a Service Provider (2). At the server (8) transformed data are generated by transforming the data related to the request into a format complying with the Server Provider (2).
