SECURE USE OF EXTERNALLY STORED DATA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. At a smart card reader, a method of making secure use of authentication data stored on a smart card read by said smart card reader, said method comprising:
- receiving a response Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) from said smart card, said response APDU including authentication data from said smart card, said response APDU indicating a destination;
extracting said authentication data from said smart card from said response APDU;
storing said authentication data from said smart card;
generating a filtered response APDU, wherein said filtered response APDU does not include said authentication data from said smart card; and
transmitting said filtered response APDU toward said destination.

Abstract
A smart card reader is adapted to extract and store authentication data from a response APDU received from a smart card before generating a filtered response APDU, wherein the filtered response APDU does not include the authentication data. Beneficially, when the smart card reader transmits the filtered response APDU toward a destination, the biometric template data is less susceptible to interception, thereby providing a more secure solution.

8. A smart card reader comprising:
-
a storage component interface adapted to communicate with a smart card to receive a response Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) from said smart card, said response APDU including authentication data from said smart card, said response APDU indicating a destination; a processor for executing a filter to extract said authentication data from said smart card from said response APDU and generate a filtered response APDU, wherein said filtered response APDU does not include said authentication data from said smart card; a memory adapted to store said authentication data from said smart card; and a short range communication subsystem adapted to transmit said filtered response APDU toward said destination. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when performed by processor in a smart card reader, cause said processor to:
-
receive a response Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) from a smart card, said response APDU including authentication data from said smart card, said response APDU indicating a destination; extract said authentication data from said smart card from said response APDU; store said authentication data from said smart card; generate a filtered response APDU, wherein said filtered response APDU does not include said authentication data from said smart card; and transmit said filtered response APDU toward said destination. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
