Abstract
A method for updating a firmware of a security module in equipment comprises a device and the security module arranged such that data can be exchanged between the security module and the device. A first message is received by the security module and indicates the availability of a firmware update provided by a provider and wherein the first message contains a transaction number individual for the security module. A second message is transferred from the equipment to the provider and the firmware update is requested from the provider. The second message contains the individual transaction number to enable the provider to conduct an identification of the security module. The firmware update is transferred from the provider to the equipment based on the individual transaction number, and is stored in a memory of the device. The firmware is unpacked by a boot loader of the equipment or the security module.
