Abstract
A method for controlling a loss of reliability of a non-volatile memory (NVM) included in an integrated circuit card (ICC) may include determining whether the NVM is reliable at the operating system (OS) side of the ICC, and generating an event associated with the reliability of the NVM at the OS side for an application of the ICC, if the NVM is determined to be unreliable.
