  • Process for the configuration of a smart card for a single selected application
    Patent number: 9940567
    Abstract: A process is designed to configure a smart card (CP) comprising a microchip (PE) capable of participating in at least two applications, a magnetic stripe (PM) capable of storing information, action means (MA) capable of acting on the magnetic stripe (PM) to modify certain stored information, a control circuit (MC) capable of controlling the microchip (PE) and the action means (MA), and selection means (MS) capable of allowing the selection of an application. This process comprises a step wherein, if one of the applications is selected, a dedicated piece of information that is representative of that selected application is stored in a location accessible to the control circuit (MC), so that if the microchip (PE) is woken up, the microchip (PE) automatically retrieves the dedicated information in order to activate the selected application represented by it.
