Systems and methods for identifying devices by a trusted service manager

1. A computer-implemented method for identifying communications, the method comprising:

receiving, by a service provider from a device, a message comprising card production life cycle (CPLC) information associated with a secure element incorporated into the device;

evaluating, by the service provider, the received CPLC information in order to identify the secure element;

identifying, by the service provider based at least in part upon the received CPLC information, a key for unlocking the secure element; and

communicating, by the service provider to the device, the identified key in order to unlock the secure element.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying, by the service provider, a customer associated with the secure element.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein evaluating the received CPLC information comprises evaluating the CPLC information to determine a serial number for the secure element.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

communicating, by the service provider to the device, the identified key prior to personalizing the secure element.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein identifying a key comprises identifying a master key.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein identifying a key comprises:

identifying, by the service provider based at least in part upon the CPLC information, a manufacturer of the secure element; and

identifying, by the service provider, a master key associated with the manufacturer.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:

identifying, by the service provider based at least in part upon the CPLC information, a method utilized to lock the secure element,

wherein the key is identified based at least in part upon the identified method.

8. A system for identifying communications, the system comprising:

at least one memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and

at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive, from a device, a message comprising card production life cycle (CPLC) information associated with a secure element incorporated into the device; and

evaluate the received CPLC information in order to identify the secure element identify, based at least in part upon the received CPLC information, a key for unlocking the secure element; and

communicate, by the service provider to the device, the identified key in order to unlock the secure element.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

identify a customer associated with the secure element.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to evaluate the received CPLC information comprise instructions to evaluate the CPLC information to determine a serial number for the secure element.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

communicate, to the device, the identified key prior to personalizing the secure element.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to identify a key comprise instructions to identify a master key.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to identify a key comprise instructions to:

identify, based at least in part upon the CPLC information, a manufacturer of the secure element; and

identify a master key associated with the manufacturer.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

identify, based at least in part upon the CPLC information, a method utilized to lock the secure element,

wherein the key is identified based at least in part upon the identified method.
