A system for facilitating data management on a secure token, comprising:
- a client having a plurality of applications residing thereon;
- and
- a secure token having a storage architecture, wherein the storage architecture includes:
- a directory and one or more attributes associated with the directory, wherein each attribute of the one or more attributes associated with the directory determines a level of access to the directory for one application of the plurality of applications,
- one or more cell groups under the directory, each cell group having one or more associated attributes, wherein each attribute of the one or more attributes associated with the cell group determines a level of access to that cell group for one application of the plurality of applications, and
- one or more cells under each cell group, each cell having one or more associated attributes, wherein each attribute of the one or more attributes associated with the cell determines a level of access to that cell for one application of the plurality of applications.
