Universal Serial Bus interfaces for data and power - Part 1-4: Common Components - USB Type-C(tm) Authentication Specification (IEC 62680-1-4:2018)

This specification defines the architecture and methodology for unilateral Product
Authentication. It is intended to be fully compatible with and extend existing PD and USB
infrastructure. Information is provided to allow for Policy enforcement, but individual Policy
decisions are not specified.
The Authentication of USB Type-C products that support Alternate Modes is allowed.
However, the methods to do so are outside the scope of this specification.

Interfaces de bus série universel (USB) pour les données et l'alimentation - Partie 1-4 : Composants communs - Spécification d'authentification USB Type-C(tm) (IEC 62680-1-4:2018)

IEC 62680-1-4:2018 fournit un moyen d'authentifier les produits au regard de l'identification et de la configuration. L'authentification est réalisée par communication de messages USB Power Delivery et/ou par transactions de contrôle du bus de données USB.
IEC 62680-1-4:2018 définit l'architecture et la méthodologie d'une authentification produit unilatérale. Elle est destinée à être intégralement compatible avec les infrastructures PD et USB existantes et à les développer. Certaines informations sont fournies en vue d'assurer l'application des Politiques; néanmoins, les décisions individuelles à ce sujet ne sont pas spécifiées.

Ta specifikacija opredeljuje arhitekturo in metodologijo za enostransko avtentikacijo izdelka. Njen namen je popolna združljivost z infrastrukturo PD in USB ter njena razširitev. Podane so informacije, ki omogočajo izvrševanje politike, vendar posamezne odločitve niso določene.
Dovoljena je avtentikacija izdelkov USB tipa C, ki podpirajo alternativne načine. Kljub temu metode avtentikacije ne spadajo na področje uporabe te specifikacije.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all
national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-
operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation
is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with
the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested
IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62680-1-4 has been prepared by technical area 14: Interfaces and
methods of measurement for personal computing equipment, of IEC technical committee 100:
Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment.
The text of this standard was prepared by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). The structure
and editorial rules used in this publication reflect the practice of the organization which submitted

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 62680 series is based on a series of specifications that were originally developed by the
USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). These specifications were submitted to the IEC under the
auspices of a special agreement between the IEC and the USB-IF.
This standard is the USB-IF publication USB Type-C™ Authentication Specification Revision 1.0.
The USB Implementers Forum, Inc.(USB-IF) is a non-profit corporation founded by the group of
companies that developed the Universal Serial Bus specification. The USB-IF was formed to
provide a support organization and forum for the advancement and adoption of Universal Serial
Bus technology. The Forum facilitates the development of high-quality compatible USB
peripherals (devices), and promotes the benefits of USB and the quality of products that have
passed compliance testing.
ANY USB SPECIFICATIONS ARE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS, "WITH NO WARRANTIES
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE USB IMPLEMENTERS FORUM AND
THE AUTHORS OF ANY USB SPECIFICATIONS DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY, INCLUDING
LIABILITY FOR INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, RELATING TO USE OR
IMPLEMENTATION OR INFORMATION IN THIS SPECIFICAITON.
THE PROVISION OF ANY USB SPECIFICATIONS TO YOU DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH
ANY LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE, TO ANY
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Entering into USB Adopters Agreements may, however, allow a signing company to participate in
a reciprocal, RAND-Z licensing arrangement for compliant products. For more information, please

IMPLEMENTERS FORUM.”
