A biometric device comprising: biometric sensing circuitry; cryptographic circuitry; a device key area in the biometric device for storing a cryptographic device key unique to the biometric device; and a test key area in the biometric device, for storing a cryptographic test key. The biometric device is controllable between: a test state in which the test key area is connected to the cryptographic circuitry to provide the test key to the cryptographic circuitry, and the cryptographic circuitry is prevented from performing cryptographic operations on data provided by the biometric sensing circuitry; and a functional state in which the device key area is connected to the cryptographic circuitry to provide the device key to the cryptographic circuitry, and the cryptographic circuitry is connected to the biometric sensing circuitry to receive and perform cryptographic operations on data from the biometric sensing circuitry using the device key.

The invention relates to a secure element device comprising at least one processor, at least one communication interface, at least one memory RAM and NVM and at least one bus access controller, wherein the bus access controller defines at least a first area PBL, a second area SBL and a secure area MZ. The first area comprises a first loader program capable of loading a program package in the second area. The secure area comprises an authentication key capable of authenticating the program package loaded in the second area. After authentication of the program package loaded in the second area, the access right of the first loader program is changed in such a way that a program in the first area can no more access the second area.
