Abstract:
A process is designed to configure a smart card (CP) comprising a microchip (PE) capable of participating in at least two applications, a magnetic stripe (PM) capable of storing information, action means (MA) capable of acting on the magnetic stripe (PM) to modify certain stored information, a control circuit (MC) capable of controlling the microchip (PE) and the action means (MA), and selection means (MS) capable of allowing the selection of an application. This process comprises a step wherein, if one of the applications is selected, a dedicated piece of information that is representative of that selected application is stored in a location accessible to the control circuit (MC), so that if the microchip (PE) is woken up, the microchip (PE) automatically retrieves the dedicated information in order to activate the selected application represented by it.
Abstract:
A secure element equips a device usable by N image owners, and comprises a first non-volatile memory divided into N parts storing image owner data, a second non-volatile memory storing a primary boot loader, a third non-volatile memory divided into N parts storing image owner session private data, a first random access memory divided into N parts associated to the N first non-volatile memory parts, a second random access memory for temporarily storing image owner data during an access session, and a controller activated by the primary boot loader when the device starts an access session, and then controlling accesses to the non-volatile memories and random access memories according to rules, and erasing the second random access memory each time the device starts an access session.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for automatically receiving and/or transmitting information intended for or relating to a holder of an alphanumeric account identifier, the method including a step of creating an electronic address comprising an identifier, wherein the identifier is obtained or derived from at least a portion of the alphanumeric identifier of the account or associated with an account. The invention also concerns the corresponding electronic system.
