Method and device for processing data for customizing an application of a protable communication device, for example a smart card

摘要

The invention enables the customization or the initialization of an application for example in a programmable smart card (1) using minimum integrated code. Therefor, a device for preparing customizing or initializing data to be transmitted to the card comprises means (44, 46) designed to create concatenation (26) of information elements (Vi) in respective adjacent data blocks (Bi) scheduled in accordance with a convention recognised by said communication device, without explicit field specification. On reception of said data sequence, the card code identifies the information elements according to their size and their position in the flow.
