CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 7816-4-97 (R2006)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 7816-4:1995. 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 7816 specifies - the content of the messages, commands and reponses, transmitted by the interface device to the card and conversely, - the structure and content of the historical bytes sent by the card during the answer to reset, - the structure of files and data, as seen at the interface when processing interindustry commands for interchange, - access methods to files and data in the card, - a security architecture defining access rights to files and data in the card, - methods for secure messaging, - access methods to the algorithms processed by the card. It does not describe these algorithms. It does not cover the internal implementation within the card and/or the outside world. It allows further standardization of additional interindustry commands and security architectures.
