MULTOS Card Personalization
 |
|
Card personalization is the process of adding applications, cardholder specific data and printing to a MULTOS card.
Personalization is usually performed on batches of cards at a Card Bureau.
MULTOS Standard Card Personalization
MULTOS is an open standard and employs standard card personalization methods across all types of application.
This standardization helps Issuers and Bureaus to minimize the investment in software and specialist skills required when working with new MULTOS applications.
Card Personalization Process Overview
- The personalization process involves enabling the MULTOS card and then loading one or more applications.
- Data Preparation creates the applications to be loaded, incorporating cardholder data and application keys where required.
- Enablement data is requested from StepNexus Services. Enablement data sets the card parameters and makes it ready for application loading.
- Application Load Certificates are requested from StepNexus Services. An application load certificate gives permission for the application to be loaded to a card.
Off-card Data Preparation
Cardholder data for MULTOS applications can be securely prepared off-card. This technique helps to make the card issuing process faster and more efficient.
