Abstract
A card includes a secure element hosting applications instances. An external interface receive, from an external card reader, an application selection command selecting one application instance from a set of one or more selectable application instances. A biometric interface is configured to acquire biometrics of a user via biometric sensor. A processor compares the acquired biometric data to reference biometric data stored in the card and set the selectable application instance set depending on the outcome of the biometric data comparison. An instance of a non-biometric application is provided in the set only in case of positive comparison. A non-biometric application is thus now biometric-secured. Personalized parameters configuring the instance of a same application may be determined based on the acquired biometrics, allowing configurations of the card to be proposed for several different users.
