<p>A smart card with a non-volatile memory with a novel configuration that extends the functionality thereof while providing an interface that is compatible with existing smart card systems. The smart card has a processor for executing applications and a memory, coupled to the processor, for storing multiple applications. The memory has a mapping that includes a first application area for storing applications, a second application area for storing applications, and a third application area for flexibly extending the functionality of the smart card. The portions of the mapping that are unrelated to the extension of functionality are configured to be compatible with existing smart card systems. <IMAGE></p> |
