scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 24727 defines a generic card interface for integrated circuit cards. This interface is presented as: - command-response pairs for interoperability, - card and application capability description and determination. This part of ISO/IEC 24727 is based on ISO/IEC 7816-4, ISO/IEC 7816-8, ISO/IEC 7816-9, and ISO/IEC 7816-15. The scope of ISO/IEC 24727-2 AMD 1 is extended in the following ways: 1. Enhance discovery mechanism to support different stack layouts of the ISO/IEC 24727 stack and different bindings of the SAL API. 2. As a result of Amendments under development for other parts of 24727, portions of this standard may be deleted and referenced. 3. Consider enhancements to the GCI either through adding APDU's, e.g. to convey application administration, or deprecating APDU's, e.g. to make the command set more concise. 4. Remove ambiguities by elaborating and re-specifying concepts that may not be clear in the current standard. 5. Remove concepts that are captured in the current ISO/IEC 24727-2 but are more relevant in other parts of ISO/IEC 24727.
