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.

Abstract: System and method for allowing a mobile telecom device to use multiple profiles. The system and method includes operating a security function to perform a cryptographic operation on a profile using a cryptography key of the security function thereby producing a cryptographically protected profile, storing the cryptographically protected profile, and activating the cryptographically protected profile by operating the security function to verify that the cryptographically protected profile has been cryptographically protected using the cryptography key of the security function, and upon verifying that the cryptographically protected profile has been protected using the cryptography key of the security function, activating the cryptographically protected profile.

Abstract: (EN) The invention makes it possible to allow several applications to coexist in the same card; the implementation of the applications uses reading and writing of data by the reader in the same memory location. The invention is a method for exchanging data between a mobile authentication device 3 supporting several applications Z1 to Z3 and a reader dedicated to one application in which the reader sends an authentication command and at least one read and/or write command. The authentication command allows the mobile device to authorise a transaction for at least part of an application Z1 to Z3 supported by the said mobile device. In response to the authentication command, the mobile device selects the application of the device that corresponds to the reader. The read and/or write command is carried out by addressing a definite block of data. In response to the read and/or write command, the mobile device addresses the block of the selected application.

Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing a service against payment. Values of at least a first set of parameters are displayed for determining the service, and a single control member is adapted, firstly, to allow selection of the desired value for the parameter and, secondly, to confirm the choice which has been made.

Abstract: Apparatus for controlling access to at least first and second compartments defined inside an enclosure of a dispenser for goods and/or services, in such a manner as to prevent access to the second compartment while allowing access to the first compartment. An identifying object of the access-seeking person is recognized, the object being inserted from outside the dispenser. The resulting signal is communicated in an encrypted manner with a central unit which, in turn, communicates in an encrypted manner with an actuator, so as to control the actuator. The actuator is disposed inside the second compartment and is adapted to allow opening/closing of a lock associated with the second compartment. The central unit generates an encrypted message with the aid of an own key specific to the central unit.
