Patent ID: 8861733

Claim:
A method for personalizing a secure processor in a Near Field Communication (NFC) system to execute a secure application, the method comprising steps of: establishing a communication link between a remote processor and a storage medium carried by a user, the storage medium memorizing in a secured way user identification data identifying the user, transmitting by the storage medium the user identification data stored in the storage medium to the remote processor, obtaining by the remote processor user personalization data corresponding to the user identification data, the user personalization data allowing a secure application to be executed in connection with the user identification data, obtaining by the remote processor using the user identification data, NFC system identification data identifying a NFC system of the user, the NFC system, the storage medium and the remote processor being distinct devices from one another, the NFC system comprising a secure processor and an NFC interface for contactless communications, the NFC system identification data comprising an encryption key of the secure processor, encrypting by the remote processor the user personalization data using the encryption key, transmitting by the remote processor the encrypted user personalization data to the NFC system, receiving and deciphering the encrypted user personalization data by the secure processor, and memorizing in a secured way the user personalization data by the secure processor.
