scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 24727 defines services as representations of action requests and action responses to be supported at the client-application service interface. The services are described in a programming-languageindependent way. This part of ISO/IEC 24727 is the application interface of the Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model defined in ISO/IEC 7498-1. It provides a high-level interface for a client-application making use of information storage and processing operations of a card-application as viewed on the generic card interface. This part of ISO/IEC 24727 does not mandate a specific implementation methodology for this interface. ISO/IEC 24727-3 AMD 1 extends the scope of ISO/IEC 24727-3 in the following ways: 1. Make explicit (normative and informative elements, including examples) of the use of the 7816-15- based Registry. ref wg4n2231 XML representation of the 24727-3 API including appropriate web service bindings specified as WSDL-structure. ref wg4n2232 2. Reaffirm that ASN.1 is the central definition of the API and data structures. All other bindings and representations are derived from ASN.1 3. ASN.1 and XML representations for 24727-3 shall reside in this part, which may necessitate movement of text/annexes from other parts of 24727 (i.e. 24727-2 and 24727-4 and 24727-5). 4. As a result of Amendments under development for other parts of 24727, portions of this standard may be deleted and referenced. 5. Add to this standard the ISO/IEC 7816-13 application management and life cycle concepts. 6. Add a discovery mechanism to the API to indicate messaging is either ASN.1 or XML. 7. Enhance a Registry facility through which the SAL can record its use of the GCI and through which the GCI mechanisms can be conveyed to the SAL. 8. Consider enhancements to the API to resolve technical deficiencies. 9. Remove ambiguities by elaborating and re-specifying concepts that may not be clear in the current standard. 10. Incorporate concepts that are captured in other parts of ISO/IEC 24727 but are more relevant for ISO/IEC 24727-3. 11. Include C and Java bindings in a Normative Annex ( C ) and an Informative Annex(Java). 12. Pursue additional mechanisms for discovery and (card and application) capability description based e.g. on XML representations as part the development of a more comprehensive Registry. This XML is restricted to a set of instructions that enable card recognition for legacy cards.
