Data carrier for execution of platform-independent program code has processor for executing the code and at least a partial interpreter for code interpretation that permits execution of at least partially compressed code

摘要

Data carrier, especially a chip card, has a microprocessor in which platform-independent code can be executed for at least one application and at least a partial interpreter for interpretation of platform independent code, whereby the program code that is executed is at least partially compressed. An independent claim is made for a method for operating a data carrier, especially a chip card, whereby the method permits execution of compressed, platform-independent program code.
