• receiving, by the at least one service provider server, a service provider certificate generated by a certification authority server;
• transmitting, by the at least one service provider server, the service provider certificate to the key injection facility server, whereby the key injection facility server stores the set of encryption keys, one or more attributes associated with the secure element, and the service provider certificate into a memory of the secure element;
• authenticating, by the at least one service provider server, an identity of the secure element based on one or more parameters of the service provider certificate;
• generating, by the at least one service provider server, a session with the secure element based on mutual authentication with the secure element using at least the service provider certificate;
• and
• activating, by the at least one service provider server, the secure element of the terminal device by storing at least a master key and a working key into the memory of the secure element.
