Method for personalizing portable data carrier e.g. chip card, involves configuring data carrier according to one of configurations, and authenticating data carrier using authentication key corresponding to activated configuration

摘要

The data carrier is initialized (S2) by loading an application into a non-volatile memory of the data carrier. Several configurations to which an authentication key is assigned are stored (S3) for application. The data carrier is configured (S4) according to one of configurations. The data carrier is authenticated (S5) using authentication key corresponding to activated configuration. The data carrier is personalized (S6) in which personal data is stored in the data carrier according to activation of configuration.
