主权项

1. An electronic entity, comprising:
means for contact communication; means for contactless communication; a rewritable non-volatile memory storing activation information; and a microcircuit configured to set the activation information to a predetermined value upon receipt of an activation instruction via the means for contact communication,
the microcircuit receives the activation instruction via the means for contact communication, the activation instruction causing the activation information to be set to a predetermined value in the rewritable non-volatile memory authorizing an exchange of certain data at least via the means for contactless communication, the activation information being set based on the activation instruction subject to configuration information written in the rewritable non-volatile memory, the configuration information indicating access rights to control setting of the activation information, andthe microcircuit authorizes the exchange of certain data via the means for contactless communication in the presence of the predetermined value of said activation information.
