Card Lifecycle Management for Multi-Application Cards
Current developments in the card industry show a clear trend towards multi-application cards, mainly in the
areas of payment and communication. The post issuance phase in the lifecycle of such a card becomes increasingly
important as its usage may change: New applications can be activated (e.g. public transport applet for a telephone
card), application parameters can change (e.g. offline transaction limit), applications can be cancelled, software
updates can become necessary and so on. This poses new challenges to the management of card and application
related data.
PMP-lifecycle makes the administration of multi-application cards transparent and convenient. All actions taken
during the life of a card are documented, from manufacturing to scrapping. To make the receipt and transmission
of data fast and safe, PMP-lifecycle supports many different interfaces. Update information for card chips can be
made available in any suitable way: over the air, at an ATM or terminal, at a PC, etc. Detailed information on the
status and history of any card is available at all times. Reports provide informative overviews.
