A method for installing linked MIFARE applications (TK1-A, TK1-B, TK1-C) in a MIFARE memory being configured as a MIFARE Classic card or an emulated MIFARE Classic memory and retrieving said linked MIFARE applications (TK1-A, TK1-B, TK1-C) from said MIFARE memory using a reader device, the method comprising: storing the first linked MIFARE application (TK1-A) in a first free sector of the MIFARE memory, storing the second linked MIFARE application (TK1-B) in a second free sector of the MIFARE memory and writing link information indicating this second sector in a link information memory location of the first sector where first linked MIFARE application (TK1-A) has been stored, and repeating the steps of storing linked MIFARE applications and writing link information until the last linked MIFARE application (TK1-C) has been stored, wherein in a link information memory location of the sector of the MIFARE memory where the last linked MIFARE application (TK1-C) has been stored link information is written indicating the sector where the first linked MIFARE application (TK1-A) has been stored, retrieving the MIFARE applications (TK1-A, TK1-B, TK1- C) from the MIFARE memory using the reader device by reading the first MIFARE application (TK1-A) from the first sector of the MIFARE memory, which first sector is optionally a predefined sector, reading the link information from the same sector, if the link information points to another sector of the MIFARE memory reading the MIFARE application (TK1-B) being stored in this another sector, and repeating the steps of reading MIFARE applications and link information until the link information points to a sector that has already been read. storing the first linked MIFARE application (TK1-A) in a first free sector of the MIFARE memory, storing the second linked MIFARE application (TK1-B) in a second free sector of the MIFARE memory and writing link information indicating this second sector in a link information memory location of the first sector where first linked MIFARE application (TK1-A) has been stored, and repeating the steps of storing linked MIFARE applications and writing link information until the last linked MIFARE application (TK1-C) has been stored, wherein in a link information memory location of the sector of the MIFARE memory where the last linked MIFARE application (TK1-C) has been stored link information is written indicating the sector where the first linked MIFARE application (TK1-A) has been stored, retrieving the MIFARE applications (TK1-A, TK1-B, TK1- C) from the MIFARE memory using the reader device by reading the first MIFARE application (TK1-A) from the first sector of the MIFARE memory, which first sector is optionally a predefined sector, reading the link information from the same sector, if the link information points to another sector of the MIFARE memory reading the MIFARE application (TK1-B) being stored in this another sector, and repeating the steps of reading MIFARE applications and link information until the link information points to a sector that has already been read. reading the first MIFARE application (TK1-A) from the first sector of the MIFARE memory, which first sector is optionally a predefined sector, reading the link information from the same sector, if the link information points to another sector of the MIFARE memory reading the MIFARE application (TK1-B) being stored in this another sector, and repeating the steps of reading MIFARE applications and link information until the link information points to a sector that has already been read.
