Abstract

The customization or initialization of the application, for example in a programmable smart card, uses minimum integrated code. A device for preparing customizing or initializing data to be transmitted to the card creates a concatenation of information elements in respective adjacent data blocks in accordance with a convention recognized by a communication device, without explicit field specification. On reception of a data sequence, the card code identifies the information elements according to their size and their position in the flow.
