Java Card Security for ProtectTools
Backing up and restoring Java Cards
After you have assigned power-on authentication identity to a
Java Card, it is highly recommended that you create a Java Card
recovery file. The recovery file can be used to transfer the Java
Card power-on authentication identity data from one Java Card
to another Java Card. This file can also be used to back up the
original Java Card or to restore the data when a Java Card is lost
or stolen.
Ä
CAUTION: To avoid having a recovery file that does not match a Java
Card containing updated information, immediately create a new
recovery file on removable media and put it in a safe place. If you keep
a backup Java Card, you must also update the information on the
backup Java Card by restoring the new recovery file onto the backup
Java Card.
