A security module (1) with a processor (2), on which applications (8-11; 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b) from various providers (50, 51, 52) are installed, comprises a recording device (7) for recording the access of the applications (8-11; 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b) to resources (2, 4, 5, 6a, 20, 21, 28) of the security module (1), recording the total resource usage caused by an application (8-11; 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b) and allocates the relevant application (8-11; 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b) to a charging station for subsequent charging. The recorded usage data are allocated to usage data sets (12-16; 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b)or provider data sets (12, 15,16) on the security module (I) directly connected to the relevant application (8-11; 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b) and/or the provider thereof (50, 51, 52) and thus permits billing of total resource use of each application (8-11; 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b) or all the applications (8-11; 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b) of a provider (50, 51, 52). |
