IDENTIFICATION OF AN APPLICATION

1 . A system, comprising:

a first application; and

a shared software platform;

wherein said first application is identified by said shared software platform using a first random number and a second number;

wherein said first random number is stored in encrypted fashion in an executable code of said first application; and

wherein said second number is representative of said first random number and is stored in a first portion of a memory only accessible to said shared software platform.

2 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein said second number is generated by said software platform.

3 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein said first random number is generated by a first original equipment manufacturer of said first application.

4 . The system according to claim 3 , wherein said executable code of said first application is stored in a second portion of the memory which is not accessible to a second original equipment manufacturer of a second application implemented by said shared software platform.

5 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein said first random number is modified during an update of said first application.

6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein said system is a secure operating system embedded in a secure element.

7 . A method of booting a system,

wherein the system comprises:

a first application; and

a shared software platform;

wherein said first application is identified by said shared software platform using a first random number and a second number;

the method comprising:

sending, by said first application, of an encrypted executable code to said shared software platform;

extracting, by said shared platform, of the first random number from storage in encrypted fashion in an executable code of said first application;

generating, by said platform, of the second number which is representative of said first random number; and

storing said second number in a first portion of a memory only accessible to said shared software platform.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , further comprising the following successive steps:

decrypting, by said shared software platform, of said encrypted executable code with a first decryption key; and

storing said decrypted executable code.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

modifying said first random number during an update of said first application; and

storing said decrypted executable code in a second memory portion.

10 . The method according to claim 9 ,

wherein said first random number is generated by a first original equipment manufacturer of said first application; and

wherein said first decryption key is not known by a second original equipment manufacturer of a second application implemented by said shared software platform.

11 . A method of storing at least one first digital asset of a first application of a system,

wherein the system comprises:

a first application; and

a shared software platform;

wherein said first application is identified by said shared software platform using a first random number and a second number;

wherein the method comprises:

storing by said shared software platform of said at least one digital asset; and

associating the at least one digital asset with said second number.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising using, by the shared software platform, said second number to sign said at least one first digital asset.

13 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising using, by the shared software platform, said second number to encrypt said at least one first digital asset.

14 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising storing said at least one first digital asset in a portion of a memory.

15 . A method of recovery of at least one digital asset associated with a third number by a third application identified by a fourth random number, said method implemented by a system comprising:

said third application; and

a shared software platform;

wherein the third application is identified by said shared software platform using the fourth random number and the third number;

said method comprising: verifying, by said shared software platform, a matching of said third number and the fourth random number.

16 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising:

when the matching is verified, transmitting by said shared software platform of said at least one digital asset to said third application.

17 . The method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

when the matching is not verified, transmitting by said shared software platform of an error message to said third application.
