Abstract
A system and method for memory management in a smart card are disclosed. The memory manager, preferably part of a true operating system, is the single device by which memory in the smart card is allocated and deallocated. Memory allocation for new data objects and memory deallocation as the result of data object deletion are made by reference to a memory management record, preferably a bitmap, which is stored in RAM and formed upon smart card initialization.
