Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one wireless communication circuit, a processor operatively connected with the at least one wireless communication circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to detect an event related to transmission of identification information through the at least one wireless communication circuit, in response to the detection of the event, perform a first authentication procedure for obtaining access right to the identification information, relay a second authentication procedure between an external electronic device and a server through the at least one wireless communication circuit, and receive the identification information that is stored in the external electronic device from the server through the at least one wireless communication circuit.

Claims (60)

1. An electronic device comprising:

at least one wireless communication circuit;

a secure element;

a processor operatively connected with the at least one wireless communication circuit; and

a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:

establish a first secure channel between the memory and a server through the at least one wireless communication circuit;

transmit at least one of first key information or biometric authentication-related information to the server;

request the server to establish a second secure channel through the first secure channel;

transmit an identifier of the secure element to the server;

establish the second secure channel between the secure element and the server based on at least one of the first key information, the biometric authentication-related information, or the identifier;

detect an event related to transmission of identification information through the at least one wireless communication circuit;

in response to the detection of the event, perform a first authentication procedure for obtaining an access right to the identification information;

relay a second authentication procedure between an external electronic device and the server through the at least one wireless communication circuit, wherein the second authentication procedure is an authentication procedure in which the server read the identification information stored in the external electronic device and identifies that an owner of the external electronic device and the owner of the electronic device are the same person;

receive the identification information that is stored in the external electronic device from the server through the second secure channel; and

store the received identification information in the secure element,

wherein the first secure channel includes a transport layer security (TLS) channel configured to deliver encrypted data in a transport layer, and

wherein the second secure channel is based on a secure channel protocol of a global platform (GP).

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one wireless communication circuit is configured to support short-range wireless communication, and

wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

determine whether the external electronic device is located within a specified distance from the electronic device based on the short-range wireless communication, and

detect the event based on the external electronic device being located within the specified distance from the electronic device.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

receive a user input at least one of a personal information number (PIN) or biometric information; and

obtain the access right to the identification information based on at least one of the PIN or the biometric information.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

generate second key information for encrypting the identification information;

transmit the second key information to the server through the at least one wireless communication circuit; and

obtain a digital signature based on the second key information from the server.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

transmit a message requesting deletion of the identification information stored in the external electronic device to the server or the external electronic device through the at least one wireless communication circuit.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a display,

wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

display, through the display, a graphical user interface (GUI) including the identification information.

7. A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

establishing a first secure channel between the electronic device and a server;

transmitting at least one of first key information or biometric authentication-related information to the server;

requesting the server to establish a second secure channel through the first secure channel;

transmitting an identifier of a secure element to the server;

establishing the second secure channel between the secure element and the server based on at least one of the first key information, biometric authentication-related information, or the identifier;

detecting an event related to transmission of identification information;

in response to the detection of the event, performing a first authentication procedure for obtaining an access right to the identification information;

relaying a second authentication procedure between an external electronic device and the server, wherein the second authentication procedure is an authentication procedure in which the server read the identification information stored in the external electronic device and identifies that an owner of the external electronic device and the owner of the electronic device are the same person;

receiving the identification information stored in the external electronic device from the server through the second secure channel; and

storing the received identification information in the secure element,

wherein the first secure channel includes a transport layer security (TLS) channel configured to deliver encrypted data in a transport layer, and

wherein the second secure channel is based on a secure channel protocol of a global platform (GP).

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the detecting of the event includes:

determining whether the external electronic device is located within a specified distance from the electronic device based on short-range wireless communication; and

detecting the event when the external electronic device is located within the specified distance from the electronic device.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the performing of the first authentication procedure includes:

receiving a user input at least one of a personal information number (PIN) or biometric information; and

obtaining the access right to the identification information based on at least one of the PIN or the biometric information.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

in response to the reception of the identification information, generating second key information for encrypting the identification information;

transmitting the second key information to the server; and

obtaining a digital signature based on the second key information from the server.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

transmitting a message requesting deletion of the identification information stored in the external electronic device to the server or the external electronic device.
