Abstract

A smart card (1) storing a first and a second application (120, 220) and elements for receiving commands originating from outside the card (1), the first application (120) being capable of executing first commands, the smart card includes elements (130) for determining (706) whether a received command is implemented by the first application so as to transmit (708) the received command to the second application (220) in the case of a negative determination. Notably, the determination can implement either a table (130) listing the first commands, or conditional instructions provided within the execution code for the first application. Application of the invention to a second highly-securitized application, of the banking transaction type, and to a first less-securitized application, of the mobile telephone application type.
