Systems, methods, and computer program products for managing secure elements
First Claim
1. A system to perform content management operations on secure elements using a central trusted service manager (TSM) that interfaces between a plurality of services providers and the secure elements, where a traditional TSM cannot function as a central intermediary TSM to a plurality of service providers because the traditional TSM is associated with a single service provider, comprising:
- at least one secure element, each of the at least one secure elements comprising a plurality of memory portions, each of the plurality of memory portions comprising a management portion and a plurality of supplemental portions managed by the management portion; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of memory portions, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the plurality of memory portions to cause the system to;
receive, by a management portion of a particular secure element, a first instruction comprising a first identifier from a central trusted service manager interfacing between the particular secure element and one of a plurality of service providers, the central trusted service manager configured to interface between the particular secure element and each of the plurality of service providers;
determine, by the management portion of the particular secure element, which one of the plurality of supplemental portions is associated with the first identifier; and
process the first instruction by the determined one of the plurality of supplemental portions of the particular secure element using one or more applications instantiated for two or more of the plurality of service providers.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for performing content management operations. At least one memory stores data, and a central security domain manages instructions on behalf of one or more service provider security domains. The instructions are received, over a network, from a trusted service manager. The instructions are processed in at least one of the one or more determined service provider security domains, using the data stored in the at least one memory. The data includes one or more generic applications, each of which can be instantiated for one or more service providers.

19. A computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program instructions embodied therein that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform content management operations on secure elements using a central trusted service manager (TSM) that interfaces between a plurality of services providers and the secure elements, where a traditional TSM cannot function as a central intermediary TSM to a plurality of service providers because the traditional TSM is associated with a single service provider, the computer-readable program instructions comprising; computer-readable program instructions to receive, by a management portion of a secure element, a first instruction comprising a first identifier from a central trusted service manager interfacing between the secure element and one of a plurality of service providers, the central trusted service manager configured to interface between the secure element and each of the plurality of service providers; computer-readable program instructions to determine, by the management portion of the secure element, which one of a plurality of supplemental portions of the secure element is associated with the first identifier; and computer-readable program instructions to process the first instruction by the determined one of the plurality of supplement portions of the secure element using one or more applications instantiated for two or more of the plurality of service providers. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
