The invention relates to a method for the management of data belonging to a user card that can be introduced into at least one terminal, by a security module. Said card is subjected to at least one authentication process by said security module. The invention is characterized in that the method comprises the following stages: the card is introduced into a terminal; each time the user card is authenticated, a logical channel is allocated to said terminal in the security module; contextual data relating to the authentication stage are stored in a storage location associated with the logical channel, said storage location being located in a memory of the security module; and the card is withdrawn from the terminal. The invention is particularly suitable for use in telephony.
