Secure element management and electronic device performing same and installation package
An electronic device includes a secure element in which at least one application package is installed and a processor for communicating with the secure element. The secure element further stores a list with which a part or all of identification information of the at least one application package is registered. The processor controls the secure element such that an application package indicated by the identification information registered with the list is uninstalled, in response to a specified event. Various other embodiments recognized from the specification are also possible.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a processor;
a communication circuitry configured to establish communication with a server;
a secure element; and
at least one memory storing one or more computer programs including instructions configured to be executed by the processor,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive at least one application package from the server via the communication circuitry,
install the at least one application package in the secure element,
while installing the at least one application package, store, in the secure element, a list comprising identification information of the at least one application package to be factory reset from the secure element in response to a specified event,
a part or all of the identification information of the at least one application package being registered with the list,
in response to the specified event, control the secure element such that an application package indicated by the identification information registered with the list is factory reset, and
uninstall the application package indicated by the identification information registered with the list by removing the application package indicated by the identification information registered with the list and removing the list.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the specified event comprises an event which causes a factory reset of the electronic device.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one application package and the list are stored in a secure domain included in the secure element.
4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one application package is received from the server corresponding to the secure domain based on encryption communication.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the server comprises a trusted service manager (TSM) server.
6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor, when executing the instructions, is further configured to manage the identification information registered with the list based on interactions with the server.
7. The electronic device of claim 6 ,
wherein the secure element comprises:
a storage, and
a controller configured to control the storage,
wherein the processor, when executing the instructions, is further configured to provide a control message associated with managing the list to the controller, and
wherein the controller is further configured to add, remove, or retrieve identification information of the list stored in the storage depending on the control message.
8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor, when executing the instructions, is further configured to communicate with the secure element based on a secure channel protocol (SCP).
9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one application package includes information associated with a payment card.
10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the information associated with the payment card includes at least one of a primary account number (PAN), at least a part of which is encrypted, an expiration date, a card verification value (CVV) number, or a name of a card owner.
11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor, when executing the instructions, is further configured to, after the list is stored in the secure element, complete the installing of the at least one application package in the secure element.
12. An electronic device, comprising:
a secure element;
a processor; and
at least one memory storing one or more computer programs including instructions configured to be executed by the processor,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
communicate with the secure element,
install at least one application package in the secure element,
while installing the at least one application package, store, in the secure element, a list comprising identification information of the at least one application package,
a part or all of the identification information of the at least one application package being registered with the list,
in response to a specified event, control the secure element such that an application package indicated by the identification information registered with the list is factory reset, and
uninstall the application package indicated by the identification information registered with the list by removing the application package indicated by the identification information registered with the list and removing the list.
13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the specified event comprises an event which causes a factory reset of the electronic device.
14. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one application package and the list are stored in a secure domain included in the secure element.
15. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the processor, when executing the instructions, is further configured to communicate with the secure element based on a secure channel protocol (SCP).
