Abstract
A method for personalizing a software, in particular an operating system OS, in a secure element, SE, includes the steps of loading a software image into the memory of the SE; loading a software personalization record comprising personalization data into the memory of the SE; and personalizing the loaded software image using the software personalization data. Personalization of the software image is initiated by an internal agent of the SE. Initiation personalization of the software image by the internal agent is triggered by a trigger event that is detected by the internal agent, the trigger event being unrelated to software personalization.
Claims15
A method for personalizing a software in a secure element SE, the method comprising:
- loading a software image into the memory of the SE;
- loading a software personalization record into the memory of the SE,
- wherein the personalization record comprises software personalization data;
- and
- personalizing the loaded software image using the software personalization data;
- wherein personalizing the software image is initiated by an internal agent of the SE;
- wherein initiating the personalization of the software image by the internal agent is triggered by a trigger event that is detected by the internal agent, the trigger event being unrelated to software personalization and independent of both said loading the software image into the memory of the SE and said loading the software personalization record into the memory of the SE.
A secure element, SE, comprising a processor and a memory in which a software image and a software personalization record is stored, the personalization record comprising software personalization data, wherein an internal agent of the security element being configured to initiate personalization of the software image using the software personalization data,
- wherein initiating the personalization of the software image by the internal agent is triggered by a trigger event that is detected by the internal agent, the trigger event being unrelated to software personalization and independent of both loading the software image into the memory of the SE and loading the software personalization record into the memory of the SE.
