scope:

This standard specifies the application service layer and profile for Payment and Identity authentication, and Payment Data transfer for Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) based applications using IEEE Std 802.11™ and IEEE 1609 protocols in Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments. This standard defines a basic level of technical interoperability for electronic payment equipment, i.e., onboard unit (OBU) and roadside unit (RSU). It does not provide a full solution for interoperability, and it does not define other parts of the electronic payment-system, other services, other technologies, and non-technical elements of interoperability. This standard is not intended to define technology and processes to activate and store data into the OBU (personalization).

Purpose

This standard provides an open standard for the relevant interface in WAVE-based transaction systems, providing a common interoperable service for device identity and payment authentication, and payment data transfer. This allows for interoperability between systems of different vendors and/or operators.
