Abstract
A typical system environment comprises a terminal device, a secure storage subsystem, and an interconnectivity component. The terminal device has a network connectivity subsystem enabled for data connectivity with a wireless communications network. The secure storage subsystem has a secure storage memory for securely storing contents and is enabled for local RF connectivity through a local RF communication subsystem. The secure storage subsystem is operable as a contactless smartcard in accordance with any contactless technology. The interconnectivity component is adapted to enable communication of the secure storage subsystem through the network connectivity subsystem with the network. The interconnectivity component is further configured to detect that messages received from the network are destined for the secure storage subsystem and is configured to supply that identified messages to the secure storage subsystem. The messages enable exercising control over the secure storage subsystem in that the messages comprise one or more instructions to be processed by a secure memory controller of the secure storage subsystem.
