METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING AND VERIFYING CERTIFICATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18164821 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING AND VERIFYING CERTIFICATE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for managing and verifying a certificate of a terminal. The method involves obtaining certificate information that can be used for downloading and installing a specific bundle. This bundle corresponds to either a secondary platform bundle family identifier or a secondary platform bundle family custodian identifier. The certificate information is then transmitted to a secondary platform bundle manager. In return, the method receives either a certificate of the secondary platform bundle manager, certificate information for a smart secure platform (SSP), the secondary platform bundle family identifier, or the secondary platform bundle family custodian identifier.
- The method manages and verifies certificates of terminals.
- It obtains certificate information for downloading and installing specific bundles.
- The bundles correspond to secondary platform bundle family identifiers or secondary platform bundle family custodian identifiers.
- The certificate information is transmitted to a secondary platform bundle manager.
- The method receives various types of information in return, such as certificates or identifiers.
Potential Applications
- This method can be applied in systems that require secure downloading and installation of specific bundles.
- It can be used in platforms that have multiple bundle families or custodians.
- The method can be implemented in smart secure platforms (SSPs) to ensure the authenticity and security of downloaded bundles.
Problems Solved
- The method solves the problem of managing and verifying certificates for terminals.
- It addresses the challenge of securely downloading and installing specific bundles.
- The method provides a solution for handling multiple bundle families or custodians in a platform.
Benefits
- The method enhances the security of downloading and installing bundles by verifying certificates.
- It simplifies the management of certificates for terminals.
- The method allows for secure communication between the terminal and the secondary platform bundle manager.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of managing and verifying a certificate of a terminal is provided. The method includes obtaining certificate information that is usable when downloading and installing a specific bundle corresponding to at least one of a secondary platform bundle family identifier or a secondary platform bundle family custodian identifier, transmitting, to a secondary platform bundle manager, the certificate information corresponding to the at least one of the secondary platform bundle family identifier or the secondary platform bundle family custodian identifier of the specific bundle, and receiving, from the secondary platform bundle manager, at least one of a certificate of the secondary platform bundle manager, certificate information to be used by a smart secure platform (SSP), the secondary platform bundle family identifier, or the secondary platform bundle family custodian identifier.
