Embodiment Construction

[0042] The present invention relates to a method for establishing a shared key between a mobile device and a smart card (containing a SIM or UICC application). In particular, the present invention relates to a method that utilizes a mobile network operator (and subscriber database) to perform the key exchange necessary to establish a shared key between a mobile device and a smart card (SIM or UICC) of. To help achieve this, the method employs a key generation function associated with the existing GSM / UMTS authentication standard. An embodiment of the present invention will be described step by step with reference to FIG. 3 .

[0043] Referring to FIG. 3, a signal flow diagram therein illustrates step by step the key exchange method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the mobile device 302 has access and connected to the cellular network 304 . This means that the mobile device 302 has been authenticated by the ce...

Abstract

A method is described herein which enables a mobile device and a smart card (SIM, UICC) to establish a shared secret KE which can then be used to secure an interface between themselves. A mobile operator helps in the establishment of the shared secret (KE) by taking part in a key exchange between the mobile device and smart card. The mobile operator's involvement is desirable since they can keep track of mobile device-smart card pairs and if necessary they can block the security establishment between the mobile device and the smart card in order to prevent fraudulent behavior.
