摘要

The invention is a secure element comprising a virtual machine able to work in admin mode and in runtime mode. The secure element comprises two enhanced containers. Each of said enhanced containers can be either in an activated state or in a disabled state. Only one of the enhanced containers can be in activated state at any given time. The virtual machine is adapted to access each of the enhanced containers when working in admin mode. The virtual machine cannot access an enhanced container which is in disabled state when working in runtime mode.
