Abstract

The invention provides a method for loading an application requiring personalization into a portable storage medium which is set up to be operated in a terminal.

For updating an application, the personalization data and possibly application data are loaded from the restore module into the updated application. A portable storage medium has a non-volatile, application-independent restore module. System with storage medium and terminal and non-volatile, application-independent restore module.
