A method includes detecting access to a smart card; reading a directory structure from the smart card that identifies one or more platform types, and for each platform type identifies corresponding device applets; determining from the directory structure one or more device applets associated with a selected platform type; and providing access to the one or more device applets. The apparatus comprises a processor for detecting access to a smart card, for reading a directory structure from the smart card that identifies one or more platform types, and for each platform type identifies corresponding device applets, for determining from the directory structure one or more device applets associated with a selected platform type, and for providing access to the one or more device applets.
