An electronic key supports a plurality of authentication methods and effectively prevents bidding-down attacks. For this purpose, security information is additionally provided by the electronic key, based on which a card reading device recognizes which authentication methods are supported by the electronic key. When the reading device recognizes based on said information that the electronic key supports a stronger second authentication method, but the authentication method was not recognized by the card reading device, the electronic key is, for example, rejected.
