Zusammenfassung:An approach for securing communication between a terminal and one of a smartcard and a smartcard reader. A command to initiate a local link transport layer protection protocol session between a terminal and one of a smartcard and a smartcard reader is received at the smartcard or smartcard reader. Responsive to the command, the smartcard or smartcard reader then participates in a handshake process between the terminal and one of the smartcard and the smartcard reader. The handshake process includes mutual authentication. Data is then provided from one of the smartcard and the smartcard reader to the terminal via a trusted tunnel after successful completion of the handshake process.
