Annexes

B Transportation of APDU message by T=1
C Record pointer management
D Use of the basic encoding rules of ASN.1
E Examples of card profiles
F Use of secure messaging

Defines contents of messages, commands and responses transmitted to the card by the interface device, and the structure and content of the historical bytes sent by the card during the answer to reset. It describes file and data structure as at the interface when processing interindustry commands for interchange, access methods to files and data in the card, methods for secure messaging and access methods to the algorithms processed by the card, but does not describe these algorithms.
