Method as well as configuration program for configuring a user device and same comprising a system patching dataset for a secure element

A configuration program for configuring a secure element, in particular for secure operation involving a trusted entity, wherein the configuration program comprises instructions which, when the configuration program is executed by at least one of a server device, a user device and a secure element, cause at least one of a server device, a user device, and a secure element to carry out the steps of

• providing a secure element for a user device, with an operating system dataset for operating the secure element, the operating system dataset comprising a previous version of at least one executable data subset;
• installing an application process on the operating system dataset providing access to an application program interface;
• sending an update data subset through the application program interface to the secure element comprising at least a part of a following version of the at least one executable data subset defining a later version of the operating system dataset;
• and
• providing a system patching dataset for managing an installation of the update data subset when implementing the following version of the at least one executable data subset on the secure element such that the later version of the operating system dataset can be executed.

A secure element for a user device, in particular configured for allowing secure operation involving a trusted entity, with an operating system dataset for operating the secure element, the operating system dataset comprising a previous version of at least one executable data subset;

• with an application process installed on the operating system dataset providing access to an application program interface;
• wherein the secure element is configured to
• receive an update data subset through the application program interface comprising at least a part of a following version of the at least one executable data subset defining a later version of the operating system dataset;
• and
• use a system patching dataset for managing an installation of the update data subset when implementing the following version of the at least one executable data subset on the secure element such that the later version of the operating system dataset can be executed.
