LOADING A JAVA CARD MEMORY WITH A JAVA CARD PACKAGE THROUGH A CARD PERSONALIZATION SPECIFICATION FLOW

摘要

A method of loading a Java Card memory with a Java Card package through a Card Personalization Specification (CPS) flow. The method proposes to encapsulate the Java Card package destined to be loaded into the Java Card memory in an extra proprietary Data Grouping Identifier (DGI) added at the beginning of a standard DGI sequence. By adding the extra DGI containing a Java Card package at the beginning of the DGI sequence, the Java Card application writes the Java Card package into the Java Card memory. The Java Card package then receives the rest of the DGIs from the application and handles the personalization process by writing itself the personalized data into the memory.
