METHOD OF MANAGING A MULTI-APPLICATION SMART CARD

摘要

The invention relates to a method of managing a multi-application electronic device (10), such as a multi-application smart card, comprising an operating system (OS) which is designed to support a plurality of applications. Each of the applications belongs to an application provider having a unique security domain which is initially installed on the card. The inventive method is characterised in that, upon receipt of a command for an application (API1) to be loaded onto the device, the operating system verifies (20) that the application is associated with a security domain corresponding to the security domain (SD(P1)) of the application provider and, in the event of successful verification, authorises the loading and installation thereof on the card, connecting same automatically to said security domain (SD(P1)).
