Abstract

There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that enable setting regarding a service using a secure element to be appropriately performed according to an expiration date of security authentication of the secure element. Unique identification information for identifying an individual of a secure element mounted on a terminal device and security authentication information assigned to the secure element are stored in association with each other, and to an external device that provides a service by using the secure element of the terminal device, the unique identification information inquired from the external device or the security authentication information for the unique identification information on the secure element used for the service is transmitted.

Claims (40)

1 . An information processing device comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store unique identification information for identifying an individual of a secure element mounted on a terminal device and security authentication information assigned to the secure element in association with each other; and

circuitry configured to transmit, to an external device that provides a service by using the secure element of the terminal device, the unique identification information inquired from the external device or the security authentication information for the unique identification information on the secure element used for the service,

wherein at least one of the unique identification information or the security authentication information is updated when an operating system (OS) of the secure element is updated.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the security authentication information includes information on an expiration date of security authentication.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the security authentication information is security authentication information for security functions of hardware and the OS of the secure element.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is further configured to update the security authentication information when the OS is updated.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the circuitry transmits the unique identification information and the security authentication information on the secure element used for the service to the external device in a case where a number of days from a current date to a date on which an expiration date of the security authentication expires is less than a specified number of days.

6 . An information processing device comprising:

circuitry configured to

acquire security authentication information assigned to a secure element mounted on a terminal device, and

set a validity period of a service provided by using the secure element of the terminal device based on the security authentication information,

wherein the security authentication information is updated when an operating system (OS) of the secure element is updated.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the security authentication information includes information on an expiration date of security authentication.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the security authentication information is security authentication information for security functions of hardware and an operating system (OS) of the secure element.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to change the validity period of the service with update of an expiration date of the security authentication by update of the OS.

10 . The information processing device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to acquire, from an external device, unique identification information for identifying an individual of the secure element used in the service and the security authentication information in a case where a number of days from a current date to a date on which an expiration date of the security authentication expires is less than a specified number of days.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to invalidate the service provided to the terminal device in the case where the number of days from the current date to the date on which the expiration date of the security authentication expires is less than the specified number of days.

12 . An information processing device comprising:

circuitry configured to

acquire unique identification information for identifying an individual of a secure element mounted inside the information processing device, and

transmit, to an external device, the unique identification information for identifying the individual of the secure element,

wherein the unique identification authentication information is updated when an operating system (OS) of the secure element is updated.

13 . An information processing method, executed by an information processing device including a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and a circuitry, the method comprising:

storing, by the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, unique identification information for identifying an individual of a secure element mounted on a terminal device and security authentication information assigned to the secure element in association with each other; and

transmitting, by the circuitry, to an external device that provides a service by using the secure element of the terminal device, the unique identification information inquired from the external device or the security authentication information for the unique identification information on the secure element used for the service,

wherein the unique identification authentication information is updated when an operating system (OS) of the secure element is updated.

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

storing unique identification information for identifying an individual of a secure element mounted on a terminal device and security authentication information assigned to the secure element in association with each other; and

transmitting, to an external device that provides a service by using the secure element of the terminal device, the unique identification information inquired from the external device or the security authentication information for the unique identification information on the secure element used for the service,

wherein the unique identification authentication information is updated when an operating system (OS) of the secure element is updated.
