Abstract
In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a secure element is provided that includes: a first physical communication interface; a second physical communication interface; and a processing unit configured to perform a first authentication process with a first user through the first physical communication interface and to perform a second authentication process with a second user through the second physical communication interface. Additionally, a corresponding method of operating a secure element and a corresponding computer program executable by a processor are disclosed that are configured to perform the authentication processes.

1-15. (canceled)
A secure element of a circuit device, the secure element comprising:
- a first physical communication interface;
- a second physical communication interface;
- and
- a processing unit configured to perform a first authentication process with a first user through the first physical communication interface and to perform a second authentication process with a second user through the second physical communication interface.
A method of operating a secure element, the method comprising:
- communicating, by a processing unit included in the secure element, with a first user through a first physical communication interface included in the secure element;
- communicating, by the processing unit, with a second user through a second physical communication interface included in the secure element;
- and
- performing, by the processing unit, a first authentication process with the first user through the first physical communication interface and a second authentication process with the second user through the second physical communication interface.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing unit included in a secure element, cause the processing unit to:
- communicate with a first user through a first physical communication interface included in the secure element;
- communicate with a second user through a second physical communication interface included in the secure element;
- and
- perform a first authentication process with the first user through the first physical communication interface and a second authentication process with the second user through the second physical communication interface.
