Method and system for conditional installation and execution of services in a secure computing environment

A system and method are provided for installing and executing an applet in a secure processor. The system and method can receive the applet in non-secure data storage. The applet includes a meta-data portion and an executable portion. The meta-data portion includes a security meta-data portion, a resource meta-data portion, and a meta-data signature portion. The system and method determines whether the applet is capable of being executed by the secure processor based at least in part on the security meta-data portion and the resource meta-data portion of the applet, and if the applet can be executed by the secure processor, the applet is installed on the secure processor.
