A secure element comprising:

• an operating system and a communication interface,
• wherein the operating system is configured to manage a plurality of applications which are simultaneously present and installed in the secure element and which are individually configured to be implicitly selected on said communication interface when activated, and wherein each of said applications is configured to be individually activated,
• wherein the operating system is configured to deny a request of activation of one of said applications if another of said applications is already activated and to perform the activation of the one application if none of said applications is already activated,
• wherein the operating system is configured to handle a command requesting both the installation of a new application configured to be implicitly selected on said communication interface and the activation of said new application, and
• wherein the operating system is configured to:
• install said new application,
• configure said new application so that said new application is implicitly selected on said communication interface when activated, and
• deny the activation of said new application if one application of said plurality of applications is already activated and perform said activation of said new application if none of said plurality of applications is already activated.
