Multi-applications IC Card with secure management of applications

摘要

Multi-application IC Card comprising a runtime environment 1 for managing executions of a plurality of applications A, B stored in the multi-application IC Card, each application A, B comprising a set of rules 6, to be satisfied for their execution, and a corresponding set of reactions 7, to be taken if the rules are not satisfied, the runtime environment 1 comprising security registers 4 and reaction registers 5 intended to reference, respectively, the set of rules 6 and the set of reactions 7 associated to the applications; security means 3 for initializing, for each applications, a reference between the security registers 4 and the set of rules 6 and between the reactions register 5 and the set of reactions 7. A checking of the set of rules 6 and/or an activation of the set of reactions 7 is controlled by the security means 3 through the security registers 4 and reaction registers 5. The security means 3 comprise a registration function, for initializing said security registers 4 and said reaction registers 5. The registration function is called from the applications or from an administrative user.
