IDENTITY DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR HIGH VOLUME PRODUCTION OF PRODUCT-SPECIFIC IDENTITY DATA.

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for maintaining inventory levels of identity data to be provisioned in electronic devices. The method includes monitoring over a communications network inventory levels of identity data records stored on a plurality of identity data personalization servers that each provision electronic devices with an identity data record. Additionally, if the inventory level on at least one of the identity data personalization servers falls below a minimum specified level, a refill request is sent to an identity data management authority requesting that additional identity data records be uploaded to the identity data personalization server.
