Abstract
A method for managing a secure element embedded in an equipment comprising an NFC controller. The secure element comprises a security indicator. The method comprises the steps of: on receipt of a triggering command sent by the NFC controller, the secure element switches in a test context; on receipt of a restore command sent by an application, the secure element sets the security indicator, such as a counter of unusual events, to a predefined value only if the secure element is in test context; and on receipt of an ending command sent by the NFC controller, the secure element switches in a Live context. The secure element keeps a track of the switch in the test context and denies any further triggering commands. The method enables reset of security indicator after manufacturing and test where the security indicator may have been affected.
