Method of managing communication between a secure element and a host device

A method for managing communication between a secure element and a device, said secure element comprising a communication interface and first and second virtual profiles, said secure element being configured to get electric power from the device connected through said communication interface, wherein each of said virtual profiles is an emulated secure element, wherein each of said virtual profiles is associated with a subscription, and wherein said method comprises the steps:

• running simultaneously said first and second virtual profiles in the secure element,
• generating an incoming data from the device by multiplexing a first command intended to be executed by the first virtual profile and a second command intended to be executed by the second virtual profile and by adding specific incoming information in the incoming data, and sending said incoming data to the secure element through the communication interface,
• demultiplexing said first and second commands at the secure element, and sending said first command to the first virtual profile and the second command to the second virtual profile, said sending being based on said specific incoming information,
• getting a first response message generated by the first virtual profile by executing the first command and a second response message generated by the second virtual profile by executing the second command, wherein execution of the second command in the second virtual profile is started before end of the execution of the first command in the first virtual profile,
• generating at the secure element an outgoing data by multiplexing said first and second response messages and sending the outgoing data to the device through the communication interface, and
• demultiplexing said first and second response messages at device.
