Identification card systems - European Citizen Card - Part 2: Logical data structures and card services

This Technical Specification specifies the logical characteristics and security features at the card/system interface for the European Citizen Card. The European Citizen Card is a smart card with Identification, Authentication and electronic Signature (IAS) services. Therefore: the supported services are specified; the supported data structures as well as the access to these structures are specified; the command set is defined. This Technical Specification has the objective of ensuring the interoperability at card/system interface in the usage phase. In order to reach the interoperability objective, IAS services are compliant to prEN 14890 part 1 and part 2. As the CWA documents offer options, this specification fully defines a complete profile. This specification also provides other features not defined in the CWA documents (biometric on card matching, command chaining, role authentication ). This Technical Specification is also compliant with ICAO specification (authentication methods, basic access control ). This Technical Specification does not mandate the use of a particular technology, and is intended to allow both native and Java card technologies. This specification encompasses mandatory and optional features. Optional features make up a toolbox of modular options from which issuers can pick up the necessary protocols to fulfil the requisites of their use cases. Mandatory features are necessarily to be implemented for a smart card to be compliant to this Technical Specification. Two IAS-enabled smart cards issued by two different issuers, and compliant with this Technical Specification but implementing different modular options out of this Technical Specification, can interoperate with a terminal provided such a terminal supports both options. Therefore, interoperability requires a specific agreement between issuers/governments in order to determine which cross-border services are to be shared, and consequently which protocols are to be supported by the terminals in each country. All the APDU commands described in this Technical Specification are in accordance with ISO/IEC 7816 part 4 or part 8. They are fully described here in order to provide the settings adopted by this specification and to prevent any ambiguity in case of several possible interpretations of the standards. For physical, electrical and transport protocol characteristics, refer to CEN/TS 15480-1.

1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies the logical characteristics and security features at the card/system
interface for the European Citizen Card.
The European Citizen Card is a smart card with Identification, Authentication and electronic Signature (IAS)
services. Therefore:
 the supported services are specified;
 the supported data structures as well as the access to these structures are specified;
 the command set is defined.
This Technical Specification has the objective of ensuring the interoperability at card/system interface in the
usage phase.
In order to reach the interoperability objective, IAS services are compliant to prEN 14890 part 1 and part 2. As
the CWA documents offer options, this specification fully defines a complete profile. This specification also
provides other features not defined in the CWA documents (biometric on card matching, command chaining,
role authentication …).
This Technical Specification is also compliant with ICAO specification (authentication methods, basic access
control …).
This Technical Specification does not mandate the use of a particular technology, and is intended to allow
both native and Java card technologies.
This specification encompasses mandatory and optional features. Optional features make up a toolbox of
modular options from which issuers can pick up the necessary protocols to fulfil the requisites of their use
cases. Mandatory features are necessarily to be implemented for a smart card to be compliant to this
Technical Specification. Two IAS-enabled smart cards issued by two different issuers, and compliant with this
Technical Specification but implementing different modular options out of this Technical Specification, can
interoperate with a terminal provided such a terminal supports both options. Therefore, interoperability
requires a specific agreement between issuers/governments in order to determine which cross-border
services are to be shared, and consequently which protocols are to be supported by the terminals in each
country.
All the APDU commands described in this Technical Specification are in accordance with ISO/IEC 7816 part 4
or part 8. They are fully described here in order to provide the settings adopted by this specification and to
prevent any ambiguity in case of several possible interpretations of the standards.
For physical, electrical and transport protocol characteristics, refer to CEN/TS 15480-1.

5 Data elements and data structures
5.1 Supported data Structures
The European Citizen Card shall support the data structures described in 5.2. These data structures are used
to store external accessed data (certificates, card serial number, .). Exceptions from this rule, i.e. use cases
where data objects are used that can be accessed by a GET DATA command are listed in the description of
the services.
In addition the card may support further data structures including proprietary structures to handle data as long
as these structures have no effect on the services defined in this Technical Specification, i.e. on the
interoperability. E.g. the storage of private and secret keys, the storage of PIN reference data and of security
environments is not defined in this Technical Report. The storage of these entities is out of the scope of this
Technical Specification and implementation specific.
5.2 Access to data structures
5.2.1 File system considerations
The European Citizen Card might embed a virtual machine or be a native operating system.
1) The card may include an MF. The differentiation between cards with or without an MF is based on
the card ATR/ATS. See ISO/IEC 7816-4:2005, 8.1 – card service data byte. Consequently the card
shall include the card service data byte when returning the ATR/ATS.
2) If an application is selected implicitly, i.e., always selected at the card reset, it has the default
selection privilege. The corresponding AID shall be indicated in the historical bytes or the EF.ATR.
3) The root is the MF or the applet instance having the default selection privilege. This depends on the
card manufacturer implementation choice (JavaCard or native implementation).
4) Three basic file types are supported:
i) transparent EF;
ii) dedicated files DF;
iii) application dedicated files ADF, refer to clause for a definition of the term ADF.
5) For card without MF, each applet instance matches with an application DF (ADF).
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST-TS CEN/TS 15480-2:2009
CEN/TS 15480-2:2007 (E)
6) All cards shall be personalized with an EF.DIR file.
i) The EF.DIR is always under the root.
ii) The EF.DIR identifier is: '2F00', the short EF identifier is 30 = '1E' =11110 bin.
5.3 Answer to reset (ATR) / answer to select (ATS)
5.3.1 General
The ATR of the card shall follow the rules indicated in ISO/IEC 7816-3 and ISO/IEC 7816-4. The ATS of the
card shall follow the rules specified in ISO/IEC 14443-4.
Data objects for card identification shall be provided in the historical data bytes of the ATR/ATS or in an
optional EF.ATR. If both ATR/ATS and EF.ATR specify data objects, the data objects from ATR/ATS shall be
present in EF.ATR and optionally more data objects. In case of ISO/IEC 14443-4 and protocol type B no ATS
is available and for this reason the presence of the EF.ATR is mandatory in this case.
Card Identification Data Objects table provides the list of data objects which may be supported by the card.
The data objects are shown for the BER-TLV structure as used in an EF.ATR. For data objects transmitted in
the historical data bytes the compact TLV format as defined in ISO/IEC 7816-4 shall apply.
If a data object format is used in the historical bytes or in EF.ATR the length of the DO shall be used as
defined in the table. Furthermore the definitions for the coding of content of the data objects given in the table
are mandatory. The coding of further parameters in the content of the data objects is left to the choice of the
card manufacturer but shall follow the rules given in ISO/IEC 7816-4.

Transmission in historical bytes for the data objects "card service data" and "card capabilities" is mandatory.
For other data objects the decision is left to the card manufacturer.
5.3.3 EF.ATR
The usage of an EF.ATR is optional. The support of an EF.ATR shall be indicated in the "card service data
byte" of the historical bytes. With regard to ISO/IEC 14443-4, the ATS Application information bytes are not
