Abstract
A method of managing profiles in a secure element where the secure element includes an active first profile associated with a first communication network and a second profile associated with a second communication network. The method includes deactivating the first profile and activating the second profile, where the deactivation and the activation are implemented following detection of a failure during a local verification pertaining to the first profile for the use of this the first profile. A local verification may be a verification in the secure element of the authorization of access of a user to the first profile, for example three failures of PIN or PUK code or of biometric authentication data, the local verification being performed in the secure element, and the failure being relative to a security failure of the first profile or to an operating failure of the first profile.
