IC card information display device and IC card for use therewith

An IC card having a non-volatile memory, comprising:

• a protected memory area in said non-volatile memory, to store application specific data for at least one application program and to protect the application specific data from unauthorized change;
• and
• an unprotected memory area in said non-volatile memory, to store generic access application program data which mirrors at least a portion of said application specific data in that such generic access application program data are created and updated on a basis of said application specific data stored in said protected memory area, said generic access application program data being accessible by a generic access application program of an electronic device interfaceable with the IC card;
• wherein said application specific data stored in said protected memory area are each readable and writable by an application program corresponding to said application specific data and not readable and writable by said generic access application program of said electronic device, and said generic access application program data stored in said unprotected memory area are readable by said generic access application program of said electronic device.
