Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing personalized authentication tokens embedded in a non-conductive moulding having secret cryptographic key data, comprising: arranging on one or more substrates: storing the individualized data in the memory; subsequent to said arranging and storing, embedding said one or more substrates in said non-conductive plastic moulding such that the manufactured authentication token has no external electrical or ohmic contacts; subsequent to said embedding, attaching a visual device identifier to the outside of said moulding; subsequent to said embedding, synchronizing the token to create a correspondence between said individualized data and the visual device identifier of the token, said synchronizing including receiving said device identification data from the memory through the coupler and establishing a correspondence in a database external to the token between the individualized data and the visual device identifier using the received device identification data; and wherein said manufacturing takes place prior to the token being provided to a user for a first use.
