Writing application data to a secure element

A computer-implemented system for writing application data to secure elements of user computing devices, comprising:

• a computer comprising a secure element and that transmits, to a remote trusted service manager (TSM) computer, a request for application data and an access key for a write access type, the application data to be written to a secure element namespace of the secure element;
• a temporary memory in the computer that receives, from the remote TSM computer, the requested application data and the requested access key;
• and
• a control software application operating in the secure element of the computer that assigns one or more memory blocks of the secure element namespace to a first software application from a software application provider, and that writes the requested application data from the temporary memory to the one or more data memory blocks of the secure element namespace assigned to the first software application, the one or more data memory blocks of the secure element namespace being accessed by the control software application using the requested access key.

A mobile computing device, comprising:

• a secure element comprising a secure element namespace;
• a first software application executing outside the secure element that transmits, to a remote trusted service manager (TSM) computer, a request for application data and at least an access key for a write access type, the application data to be written to the secure element namespace;
• a temporary memory that receives, from the remote TSM computer, the requested application data and the requested access key;
• and
• a control software application executing in the secure element that assigns one or more memory blocks of the secure element namespace to a second software application from a software application provider, and that writes the requested application data from the temporary memory to the one or more data memory blocks of the secure element namespace assigned to the second software application from the software application provider, and
• wherein the one or more data memory blocks of the secure element namespace are accessed by the control software application using the requested access key.
