Apparatus and method for populating a portable smart device

Abstract: An agent based electronic commerce system and method for automatically populating a device such as a digital wallet with bank, credit or other consumer information. The system includes a data-transaction device that is capable of directly or indirectly connecting with a transaction and information processing clearing house. The transaction and information processing clearing house serves as an information repository as well as facilitating information gathering for selected user accounts. The user can automatically populate numerous devices in various locations with updated information without intervention. In one embodiment the user can conduct electronic commerce transactions automatically or singly with a financial processing mechanism associated with the transaction and information processing clearing house.

Method and system of linking a smart device description file with the logic of an application program

Abstract: A linking engine providing a process of matching the logic of an application, described in an application logic unit, whith the hardware specific description of the application for use with applications run on smart card terminals. The hardware specific description of the application is contained in dictionaries. The linking engine tests dictionaries for compatibility with the application logic unit by runnning a process that returns a predetermined response only when the dictionary describes the hardware implementation used in the test. A dictionary outputting the correct response is linked by the linking engine to provide the description of the hardware implemented in running the logic of the application.

Method and system of performing a security check of a smart device description file

Abstract: A linking engine providing a process of matching the logic of an application, described in an application logic unit, with the hardware specific description of the application for use with applications run on smart card terminals. The hardware specific description of the application is contained in dictionaries. The linking engine tests dictionaries for compatibility with the application logic unit by running a process that returns a predetermined response only when the dictionary describes the hardware implementation used in the test. A dictionary outputting the correct response is linked by the linking engine to provide the description of the hardware implemented in running the logic of the application. The linking engine further verifies the integrity of segments of the dictionary specified in a security manifest. The security manifest further specifying the algorithm to be applied to the specified segments in comparing the output of the algorithm to a verification digest, the verification digest also included in the security manifest.
