Abstract
The invention is a method for handling data in a secure container comprising first and second private keys uniquely allocated to the secure container. The secure container is configured to use the first private key to handle said data in a first operating mode and to use the second private key to handle said data in a second operating mode. The secure container is configured to prevent the update of the first private key after its clearing. The method comprises the step of automatically clearing the first private key in response to a request for enabling a software module in the second operating mode and a step of automatically using the first operating mode by the secure container if the first private key has not been cleared and of automatically using the second operating mode by the secure container if the first private key has been cleared.
