A subscriber identity module (SIM) for subscriber identification
configured so as to be detachably loaded on a mobile communication
terminal device has a application section for storing an externally
downloaded application program, a processing section (or a SAT function
section) for executing this application program, a storage section for
storing file administrative description, file description, and file data,
and file administration section for administering these information and
data. The processing section, after the downloading of the application
program, executes the downloaded application program to control the file
administration section. Consequently, access to the data stored in the
subscriber identity module is prevented, thereby preventing the third
party to access the data stored in the subscriber identity module of the
lost or stolen mobile communication terminal.
