Using a trusted-platform-based shared-secret derivation and WWAN infrastructure-based enrollment to establish a secure local channel

An article comprising:

• a storage medium having a plurality of machine accessible instructions, wherein when the instructions are executed by a processor, the instructions provide for generating a secret, wherein the secret is generated on a trusted partition of a trusted platform;
• transporting the secret to a secure channel application on the trusted partition of a mobile computing device, the secure channel application for establishing a trusted local communication channel between the trusted partition of the mobile computing device and a SIM (subscriber identity module)/Smartcard of the mobile computing device;
• receiving the secret directly into the SIM/Smartcard of the mobile computing device;
• and
• providing the secret to a secure channel applet on the SIM/Smartcard of the mobile computing device, the secure channel applet for establishing the trusted local communication channel between the SIM/Smartcard and the trusted platform partition of the mobile computing device, wherein the secret is shared by the trusted platform partition and the SIM/Smartcard.
