A smartcard for use with a receiver of encrypted broadcast signals comprises a
microprocessor for enabling or controlling decryption of said signals. A memory
is coupled to the microprocessor. The microprocessor is adapted to enable or control
the individual decryption of a plurality of such signals from respective broadcast
suppliers of such signals by means of respective dynamically created zones in the
memory, the dynamically created zones each being arranged to store decryption data
associated with a respective one of said broadcast suppliers.
