The Thesis report analyzes the possibility to store the application inside a secure environment in over the air Environment. The report clearly explains the details about the attributes which are placed in the over the air application management. Different forms of secure elements and how it can be placed inside the secure micro SD card have been discussed. The report gives the clear idea about secure micro SD card architecture. The report describes the OTA (Over the Air) components, Roles and also the process to manage the applications in OTA environment. The report also gives the clear about the protocols ISO 7816-4 which is used to communicate the handset with secure micro SD card. The communication concepts like establishing secure channel between the handset and secure micro SD card also has been discussed. Moreover, secure channel attributes are also discussed. They are Creation session key, MAC Operation and generation of derivation data. Secure micro SD card API‘s are also discussed which is used to communicate with the secure micro SD card .Some of the implementation work has been done by this research. They are >Constructed the Design of Trusted Service Manager (TSM) and Service provider. >Implemented the Functionality of TSM Server (Download Function) and tested the Functionality whether the end terminal (Android Phone) has been able to use the function properly. >Established the secure channel between the Android phone and secure micro SD card. >Loaded the sample application inside the secure micro SD card.
