Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a runtime environment executing on a card computing device, one or more HCI messages over a communication pipe from a host application coupled to the card computing device, wherein the one or more HCI messages are formatted according to a host controller interface (HCI) communication protocol, wherein the one or more HCI messages encapsulate an application protocol data unit (APDU) message; extracting, by a protocol bridge of the runtime environment, the APDU message from the one or more HCI messages; selecting, by the runtime environment, an application executing on a secure element of the card computing device as an endpoint for the APDU message, wherein the application is selected based on an association of the selected application with the communication pipe; and forwarding, by the runtime environment, the APDU message to the selected application.
