Abstract
The invention is a method of managing an object which is represented by a first instance of a class. The first instance is stored in a secure element comprising an initial operating system. The method comprises a step of updating the initial operating system to generate an updated operating system, a step of creating a metadata uniquely associated with the object, said metadata being permanently stored in the secure element and comprising a value of a parameter of said class which has been used to create said first instance. The method comprises a step of re-instantiating the object by generating an updated instance of the class in the updated operating system by using said value to set said parameter of the class, said updated instance representing the object. The re-instantiating step is automatically triggered by the step of updating the initial operating system.
