Abstract
A cloud computing environment for providing remote secure element services, comprising at least one server, a plurality of secure elements being connectable to the at least one server, each secure element having a secure element identifier and comprising at least one secure element application having a secure element application identifier, each secure element application being uniquely addressable by the at least one server with the secure element identifier of the secure element containing the given secure element application and the secure element application identifier of the given secure element application. A method for providing secure element services performed by the cloud computing environment is also disclosed.
Claims20
A cloud computing environment for providing remote secure element services, comprising:
- at least one server;
- a plurality of secure elements being connectable to the at least one server, wherein each one of the plurality of secure elements comprises a separate chip providing a tamper resistant processing environment separate from the server, each secure element having a secure element identifier and comprising at least one secure element application having a secure element application identifier, wherein each secure element application is executed on each respective secure element, each secure element application being uniquely addressable by the at least one server using a unique address comprising the secure element identifier of the secure element containing the given secure element application and the secure element application identifier of the given secure element application;
- and
- a database containing a list of the unique addresses.
A method for providing remote secure element services in a cloud computing environment, comprising:
- assigning one secure element application on one assigned secure element of a plurality of secure elements to a user, the assigned secure element having a secure element identifier and the assigned secure element application having a secure element application identifier, wherein each secure element of the plurality of secure elements comprises at least one secure element application and is connected to at least one server, wherein each one of the plurality of secure elements comprises a separate chip providing a tamper resistant processing environment separate from the server, and wherein each secure element application is executed on each respective secure element;
- receiving by the server a secure element service request from a communication device of the user over an electronic communication channel,
- executing the secure element service request by:
- identifying the secure element application assigned to the user based on the secure element identifier and the secure element application identifier;
- forwarding the secure element service request to the assigned secure element application;
- processing the secure element service request by the assigned secure element application;
- and
- sending a transaction response to the user communication device.
