scope:

The present document describes the UICC Application Programming Interface for Java Card™ for contactless Applications. Its purpose is to provide access for a contactless Applet to the services provided by the HCI protocol defined in ETSI TS 102 622 [4] for the communication via the CLF. In the scope of the present document contactless means support for the RF Technologies referenced by the HCI specification [4]. Low level functionality to manage gates and pipes as defined in the HCI specification [4] is not in the scope of the present document. Registration of contactless parameters and management of contactless Applets in card emulation mode is defined in "GlobalPlatform Technology, Contactless Services, Card Specification v2.3, Amendment C" Version 1.3" [8]. Related APIs are provided in "GlobalPlatform Card API (org.globalplatform) v1.7" [12] and "GlobalPlatform Card API - Contactless API (org.globalplatform.contactless) 1.4.2" [13].
