Provisioning credentials on multiple electronic devices

Abstract

This application relates to re-provisioning of credentials, such as payment credentials, on a second electronic device from one or more credentials previously provisioned on a first electronic device. The one or more previously provisioned credentials may be stored on an external storage system and may be retrieved by the second electronic device for re-provisioning. The second electronic device may re-provision an instance of the one or more retrieved credentials for use in electronic transactions on the second electronic device using a secure element linked to the second electronic device and information that is unique to the one or more credentials being re-provisioned to the second electronic device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for provisioning credentials on computing devices, the method comprising, at a first computing device:
 receiving a request to provide at least a portion of a provisioned credential on the first computing device, wherein the provisioned credential is based at least in part on a first value that is unique to:
 a first secure element of the first computing device, and 
 a unique credential value; 
   establishing the at least a portion of the provisioned credential that includes at least the unique credential value; and   providing the at least a portion of the provisioned credential to a second computing device to cause the second computing device to generate a reprovisioned credential based on:
 the at least a portion of the provisioned credential, and 
 a second value that is unique to a second secure element of the second computing device. 
   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least a portion of the provisioned credential is provided to the second computing device by way of a server device or an external storage device. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the reprovisioned credential is further generated based on an identifier associated with the unique credential value. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the identifier is a card verification value (CVV) that is received as an input at the second computing device prior to generating the reprovisioned credential. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the request is issued in response to the second computing device being associated with a user account with which the first computing device is also associated. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the unique credential value comprises a credit card number. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the provisioned credential and the reprovisioned credential enable the first and second computing devices, respectively, to perform financial transactions. 
     
     
         8 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by a processor included in a first computing device, cause the first computing device to carry out steps that include:
 receiving a request to provide at least a portion of a provisioned credential on the first computing device, wherein the provisioned credential is based at least in part on a first value that is unique to:
 a first secure element of the first computing device, and 
 a unique credential value; 
   establishing the at least a portion of the provisioned credential that includes at least the unique credential value; and   providing the at least a portion of the provisioned credential to a second computing device to cause the second computing device to generate a reprovisioned credential based on:
 the at least a portion of the provisioned credential, and 
 a second value that is unique to a second secure element of the second computing device. 
   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the at least a portion of the provisioned credential is provided to the second computing device by way of a server device or an external storage device. 
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the reprovisioned credential is further generated based on an identifier associated with the unique credential value. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein the identifier is a card verification value (CVV) that is received as an input at the second computing device prior to generating the reprovisioned credential. 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the request is issued in response to the second computing device being associated with a user account with which the first computing device is also associated. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the unique credential value comprises a credit card number. 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the provisioned credential and the reprovisioned credential enable the first and second computing devices, respectively, to perform financial transactions. 
     
     
         15 . A first computing device comprising a processor configured to cause the first computing device to carry out steps that include:
 receiving a request to provide at least a portion of a provisioned credential on the first computing device, wherein the provisioned credential is based at least in part on a first value that is unique to:
 a first secure element of the first computing device, and 
 a unique credential value; 
   establishing the at least a portion of the provisioned credential that includes at least the unique credential value; and   providing the at least a portion of the provisioned credential to a second computing device to cause the second computing device to generate a reprovisioned credential based on:
 the at least a portion of the provisioned credential, and 
 a second value that is unique to a second secure element of the second computing device. 
   
     
     
         16 . The first computing device of  claim 15 , wherein the at least a portion of the provisioned credential is provided to the second computing device by way of a server device or an external storage device. 
     
     
         17 . The first computing device of  claim 15 , wherein the reprovisioned credential is further generated based on an identifier associated with the unique credential value. 
     
     
         18 . The first computing device of  claim 17 , wherein the identifier is a card verification value (CVV) that is received as an input at the second computing device prior to generating the reprovisioned credential. 
     
     
         19 . The first computing device of  claim 15 , wherein the request is issued in response to the second computing device being associated with a user account with which the first computing device is also associated. 
     
     
         20 . The first computing device of  claim 15 , wherein the unique credential value comprises a credit card number.
