The invention relates to a method for providing a card event notification. A method step (S10) comprises connecting a card with an application stored on a user device (1). Another step (S20) comprises receiving a user input comprising a selected card event. Another step (S30) comprises providing the user input to a first server entity (10) for storage thereon. Another step (S40) comprises obtaining a card event information by a second server entity (20), which represents a card event carried out in connection with a service provider entity (30). Another step (S50) comprises providing the card event information from the second server entity (20) to the first server entity (10). Another step (S60) comprises determining whether the card event corresponds to the selected card event. Another step (S70) comprises providing a notification to the user device (1) if the card event corresponds to the selected card event. The invention further relates to a system (100) for providing a card event notification to a user.

The invention relates to a method for providing a biometric-enabled transaction process. The method comprises obtaining an information relating to the transaction process at a reader device (10), receiving a set of application identifiers from a user device (20) having a biometric functionality, activating a voice functionality of the reader device (10) if it is determined that the received set of application identifiers comprises a first application identifier associated to a voice application, wherein the voice functionality configures the reader device (10) to provide a voice output to a user (22) of the user device (20), receiving user authentication data from the user device (20), wherein the user authentication data is generated based on the biometric functionality of the user device (20), and initiating the transaction process upon positive authentication of the user (22). The invention also relates to a reader device (10) and system (100) for providing a biometric-enabled transaction process.

The invention relates to a method of initializing a data carrier (10). The method comprises providing personalization data (21, S110), using the personalization data (21) and a personalization entity key (32) to generate a main shard (33, S120), establishing a connection (41) between a mobile device (40) and a data carrier (10, S130), activating the data carrier (10) by generating at least a first shard (51) and a second shard (61) by a secure element (12) of the data carrier (10, S140), transmitting the first shard (51) to a first server entity (50) and the second shard (61) to a second server entity (60, S150), and storing the first and the second shard (61) in the first and the second server entity (50, 60), respectively (S160). The invention also relates to a method of restoring a user key, as well as to a system (1) for initializing a data carrier (10) and to a system (2) for restoring a user key.

The present invention relates to a chip card (1), in particular a transaction card, comprising a card body (2) holding a chip module (3) enabling electronic transactions, such as secure communications involving a trusted entity, the card body (2) having a main section (11) and an extension section (12), wherein the chip card (1) further comprises a hinge section (13) linking the main section (11) to the extension section (12) in a foldable manner, and wherein the main section (11) and an extension section (12) are electrically connected to each other, as well as to a method, and a construction kit (10) for manufacturing a corresponding chip card (1).

Method and manufacturing device (20) of manufacturing a body layer (10) of a card body (2), in particular for a chip card (1), such as a transaction card having a chip module (3) enabling electronic transactions, as well as a corresponding card body (2), chip card (1), use of a wooden layer (W) to form at least a part of a body layer (10) of a card body (2) and a construction kit for a card body (2) are provided, the method comprising the steps of providing a wooden layer (W) to form at least a part of the body layer (10); and adapting the wooden layer (W) to be transparent in at least one transparent section (T).

The present invention relates to a method for producing a chip card (2) having a design (6), whereby the chip card (2) has a protection layer protecting the design (6), whereby the method comprises the following steps of providing a card body (4), providing a design (6) on at least one side of the card body (4), applying a varnish layer (8) on at least the side of the card body (4) having the design (6), whereby the varnish layer (8) is the protection layer. Further, the present invention relates to an according chip card (2).
