System and method for executing an application on a terminal provided with a chip card

A terminal, arranged to receive a chip card and comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor perform the following acts by an installation entity installed on the terminal:
• verifying that said chip card has execution resources for execution of a suite of instructions, in a machine language associated with the chip card, of a remote server module in cooperation with a client module which is being executed on said terminal to provide an application;
• when said chip card is verified as having execution resources for executing said remote server module, sending a request for creating a virtualized resource based on said execution resources, to an Hypervisor, acting as a virtualized resources management entity located in the chip card;
• and
• when said chip card is verified as having execution resources for executing said remote server module, commanding installation of said remote server module in the chip card, to enable said remote server module to be executed by the virtualized resource created based on said execution resources, in cooperation with the client module.

A chip card, arranged to implement an Hypervisor, acting as a virtualized resources management entity in said chip card and comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor perform the following acts:
• creating at least one virtualized resource based on execution resources of said chip card for execution of a suite of instructions, in a machine language associated with the chip card, of a remote server module in cooperation with a client module;
• and
• installing the remote server module in the chip card, for execution of said remote server module by the created virtualized resource, in cooperation with the client module.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium comprising a program for an application installation entity, comprising program code instructions to command execution of an application on a terminal provided with a chip card, when the instructions are executed by a processor, wherein the instructions configure the terminal to perform acts comprising:

• verifying that said chip card has execution resources for execution of a suite of instructions of a remote server module in cooperation with a client module which is being executed on said terminal to provide said application;
• and, when said chip card has been verified as having said resources for executing said remote server module:
• sending a request for creating a virtualized resource based on said execution resources, to an Hypervisor, acting as a virtualized resources management entity located in the chip card;
• and
• commanding installation of said remote server module in the chip card, for the execution, by the created virtualized resource, of said remote server module, in cooperation with the client module.
