Abstract: A method is provided for installing a security-relevant portion of an application made available by an application provider in a security element of a terminal. The terminal requests the application from the application provider and receives the application. Subsequently, the received security-relevant portion of the application is transmitted to a trustworthy instance administrating the security element. The trustworthy instance subsequently installs the security-relevant portion of the application in the security element.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a memory device that may be accessed by a plurality of controllers or processor cores via respective ports of the memory device. Each controller may be coupled to a respective port of the memory device via a data bus. Each port of the memory device may be associated a predefined section of memory, thereby giving each controller access to a distinct section of memory without interference from other controllers. A common command/address bus may couple the plurality of controllers to the memory device. Each controller may assert an active signal on a memory access control bus to gain access to the command/address bus to initiate a memory access.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a communication system for terminating a plurality of interfaces at a common bus and for generating a synchronization clock for synchronizing the bus is provided. In one aspect, a circuit arrangement for a communication system includes a first multiplexer controlled by a first control signal with a plurality of inputs corresponding to a plurality of transmission lines of the interfaces, a respective phase control unit, preceding each input of the first multiplexer, which derives a respective clock generator signal from a received signal of the corresponding transmission line, where the clock generator signal of one of the transmission lines is switched through as output signal of the first multiplexer in dependence on the first control signal, and a phase locked loop, at the inputs of which the output signal of the first multiplexer and a clock from a clock generator operated with an external crystal oscillator.
