Abstract

See full text

A system, apparatus, and method for preventing the unauthorized access to a payment application installed on a mobile payment device, or to transaction data stored in the device. The mobile payment device may be a mobile phone that includes a contactless element (such as a contactless smart chip) and that is capable of communication and data transfer using a wireless communications network and a near field communications capability. Unauthorized access to the payment application is prevented by requiring that access control data be received from a trusted source, such as a controller or application in charge of managing inputs from a phone keypad, in order to activate the payment application or to access stored data.
