Abstract

A portable communication device may include a mobile application executing in an application execution environment and a secure application executing in a trusted execution environment. The secure application may receive, from the mobile application, a storage request to store sensitive data. The storage request may include an encrypted data type identifier and an encrypted sensitive data. The secure application may decrypt the encrypted data type identifier and the encrypted sensitive data using a transport key, and re-encrypt the sensitive data using a storage key. The re-encrypted sensitive data can then be stored in a memory of the portable communication device which is outside the trusted execution environment.

Claims

1. A portable communication device comprising:

one or more processor circuits; and

one or more memory units coupled to the one or more processor circuits and storing computer readable code implementing a secure application in a trusted execution environment, which when executed by the one or more processor circuits, performs operations including;

receiving, by the secure application from a mobile application executing in an application execution environment of the portable communication device, a first storage request, the first storage request including a first encrypted data type identifier and an encrypted cryptogram generation key;

decrypting, by the secure application, the first encrypted data type identifier and the encrypted cryptogram generation key using a transport key;

determining, by the secure application, that the first decrypted data type identifier indicates the first storage request is for a cryptogram generation key;

re-encrypting, by the secure application, the decrypted cryptogram generation key using a key-storage key to generate a re-encrypted cryptogram generation key;

storing the re-encrypted cryptogram generation key outside the trusted execution environment;

receiving, by the secure application from the mobile application, a cryptogram generation request, the cryptogram generation request including the re-encrypted cryptogram generation key and transaction data for a transaction, wherein the transaction data is received by the mobile application from an access device;

decrypting, by the secure application, the re-encrypted cryptogram generation key using the key-storage key;

encrypting, by the secure application, the transaction data using the decrypted cryptogram generation key to generate the transaction cryptogram; and

sending, by the secure application to the mobile application, the generated transaction cryptogram, wherein the mobile application transmits the generated transaction cryptogram to the access device to conduct the transaction.

2. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the operations further include:

receiving, by the secure application from the mobile application, a second storage request, the second storage request including a second encrypted data type identifier and an encrypted token;

decrypting, by the secure application, the second encrypted data type identifier and the encrypted token using the transport key;

determining, by the secure application, that the second decrypted data type identifier indicates the second storage request is for a token;

re-encrypting, by the secure application, the decrypted token using a token-storage key to generate a re-encrypted token; and

storing the re-encrypted token outside the trusted execution environment.

3. The portable communication device of claim 2, wherein the operations further include:

decrypting, by the secure application, the re-encrypted token using the token-storage key; and

sending, by the secure application to the mobile application, the decrypted token.

4. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the cryptogram generation key is a limited-use key.

5. The portable communication device of claim 4, wherein the operations further include:

receiving, by the secure application from the mobile application, a key replenishment request, the key replenishment request including the re-encrypted cryptogram generation key and a transaction verification log;

decrypting, by the secure application, the re-encrypted cryptogram generation key using the key-storage key;

generating, by the secure application, a hash value computed over at least the transaction verification log using the decrypted cryptogram generation key; and

sending, by the secure application to the mobile application, the hash value.

6. The portable communication device of claim 5, wherein the mobile application sends the hash value to a server to request a new limited-use key.

7. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the encrypted cryptogram generation key is received by the mobile application from a server, and the encrypted cryptogram generation key is signed by the server.

8. The portable communication device of claim 7, wherein the operations further include:

verifying, by the secure application, that the encrypted cryptogram generation key was signed by the server using a certificate associated with the server.

9. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the operations further include:

storing, by the secure application, a crypto library in the trusted execution environment, the crypto library including the transport key, the key-storage key, and the token-storage key.

10. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the operations further include:

selecting, by the secure application, the key-storage key to use for the re-encrypting of the decrypted cryptogram generation key based on the first encrypted data type identifier indicating the first storage request is for the cryptogram generation key.

11. A method for managing sensitive data in a portable communication device having a mobile application executing in an application execution environment and a secure application executing in a trusted execution environment, the method comprising:
