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.

Secure element with shared memories, for a multi-image owner device

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.

Process for the configuration of a smart card for a single selected application

System and method for allowing a mobile telecom device to use multiple profiles. The system and method includes operating a security function to perform a cryptographic operation on a profile using a cryptography key of the security function thereby producing a cryptographically protected profile, storing the cryptographically protected profile, and activating the cryptographically protected profile by operating the security function to verify that the cryptographically protected profile has been cryptographically protected using the cryptography key of the security function, and upon verifying that the cryptographically protected profile has been protected using the cryptography key of the security function, activating the cryptographically protected profile.
