Scope:

The purpose of storing IDL data on machine-readable media on the IDL is to:

  • increase productivity (of data and IDL use),
  • facilitate electronic data exchange, and
  • assist in authenticity and integrity validation.
     
    This document thus specifies the following:
  • mandatory and optional machine-readable data;
  • the logical data structure;
  • encoding rules for the machine-readable technologies currently supported.
     
    To prevent unauthorised access to the data contained on a contactless IC (e.g. by eavesdropping), the privacy of the licence holder is protected via basic access protection requiring a human-readable and/or machine-readable key/password on the IDL to access the data on the PIC (via protected-channel communication). The implementation details of this function are defined in ISO/IEC 18013-3.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard.
