Various aspects are directed to circuit apparatuses, portable electronic devices, and executable applets pertaining to storing and providing secure access to data. As consistent with one or more embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory circuit that stores executable applet data, a near-field communication (NFC) controller that communicates and receives power via an NFC antenna, and a secure element connected to and powered by the NFC controller circuit (e.g., and operable within a portable device). The secure element executes the applet data as follows. In response to an update command and identification (ID) data, the secure element operates in an update mode by storing the ID data. In response to a read command, the secure element operates in a read mode by providing access to the stored ID data. In response to a read-only command, the secure element operates in a read-only mode by providing read-only access to the stored ID data and preventing changes to the stored ID data. With this approach, the ID data can be stored (e.g., in a manufacturing environment) and future changes thereto can be prevented. |
