For the purposes of this part of ISO/IEC 7816, the following notation applies :
'0'-'9' and 'A'-'F' | The sixteen hexadecimal digits |
(B1) | Value of byte B1 |
B1||B2 | Concatenation of bytes B1 (the most significant byte) and B2 (the least significant byte) |
# | Number |
The logical organization of data in a card consists of following structural hierachy of dedicated files :
The following two types of EFs are defined :
When a file cannot be implicitly selected, it shall be possible to select it by at least one of the following methods :
The following structures of EFs are defined :
The following attributes are defined for EFs structured in records :
The card shall support at least one of the following four methods for structuring EFs :
Referencing by record identifier - Each record identifier is provided by an application. If a record is a
SIMPLE-TLV data object in the data field for a message (see 5.4.4), then the record identifier is the first byte of the
data object. Within an EF of record structure, records may have the same record identifier, in which case data contained
in the records may be used for discriminating between them.
Each time a reference is made with a record identifier, an indication shall specify the logical position of the target
record the first or last occurrence, the next or previous occurrence relative to the record pointer :
Within each EF of transparent structure, each data unit can be referenced by an offset (e.g. in READ BINARY command). It is an
unsigned integer, limited to either 8 or 15 bits according to an option in the respective command. Valued to 0 for the first data
unit of the EF, the offeset is incremented by 1 for every subsequent data unit.
By default, i.e. if the card gives no indication, the size of the date unit is one byte.
NOTES
The file control information (FCI) is the string of data bytes available in response to a SELECT FILE command. The file control information may be present for any file. Table 1 introduces 3 templates intended for conveying file control information when coded as BER-TLV data objects.

This clause describes the following features :
Security status represents the current state possibly achieved after completion of
The security attributes, when they exist, define the allowed actions and the procedures to be performed to complete such actions.
Security attibutes may be associated with each file and fix the security conditions that shall be satisfied to allow operations on the file. The security attributes of file depend on :
This part of ISO/IEC 7816 defines the following security mechanisms :

Illustrated by figure 3 (see also table 6), the command APDU defined in this part of ISO/IEC 7816 consists of
Header | Body |
---|---|
CLA INS P1 P2 | [Lc field] [Data field] [Le field] |
The maximum number of bytes expected in the data field of the response APDU is
denoted by Le (length of expected data). When the Le field contains only
zeros, the maximum number of available data bytes is requested.
Figure 4 shows the 4 structures of command APDUs according to the 4 cases
defined in table 4.
In case 1, the body of the command APDU is empty. Such a command APDU carries no length field.
In cases 2, 3 and 4 the body of the command APDU consists of a string of L bytes denoted by B1 to BL as illustrated by figure 5. Such a body carries 1 or 2 length fields; B1 is [part of] the first length field.
Command body |

Table 5 shows the decoding of the command APDUs according to the four cases defined in table 4 and figure 4 and according to the possible extension of Lc and Le.
Conditions | Case |
---|---|
L=0 | 1 |
Decoding conventions for Le
If the value of Le is coded in 1 (or 2) byte(s) where the bits are not all
null, then the value of Le is equal to the value of the byte(s) which lies in
the range from 1 to 255 (or 65535); the null value of all the bits means the
maximum value of Le: 256 (or 65536).
The first 4 cases apply to all cards.
Case 1 - L=0 : the body is empty.
Case 2E - L=3 and (B1)=0
Illustrated by figure 6 (see also table 7), the response APDU defined in this part of ISO/IEC 7816 consists of

The number of bytes present in the data field of the response APDU is denoted by Lr.
The trailer codes the status of the receiving entity after processing the command-response pair.
NOTE - If the command is aborted, then the response APDU is a trailer coding an error condition on 2 status bytes.
Table 6 shows the contents of the command APDU.

The parameter bytes P1-P2 of a command may have any value. If a parameter byte provides no further qualification, then it shall be set to '00'.
Each data field shall have one of the following three structures.
This part of ISO/IEC 7816 supports the following two types of TLV-coded data objects in the data fields :
ISO/IEC 7816 uses neither '00' nor 'FF' as tag value.
Each BER-TLV data object shall consists of 2 or 3 consecutive fields (see ISO/IEC 8825 and annex D).
Each SIMPLE-TLV data object shall consist of 2 or 3 consecutive fields.
The data fields of some commands (e.g. SELECT FILE), the value fields of the SIMPLE-TLV data object and the value field of the some primitive BER-TLV data objects are intended for encoding one or more data elements.
The data fields of some other commands (e.g. record-oriented commands) and the value fields of the other primitive BER-TLV data objects are intended for encoding one or more SIMPLE-TLV data objects.
The data fields of some other commands (e.g. object-oriented commands) and the value fields of the constructed BER-TLV data objects are intended for encoding one or more BER-TLV data objects.
NOTE - Before between or after TLV-coded data objects, '00' or 'FF' bytes without any meaning may occur (e.g. due to erase or modified TLV-coded data objects).
The status bytes SW1-SW2 of a response denote the processing state in the card. Figure 7 shows the structural scheme of the values defined in this part of ISO/IEC 7816.
NOTE - When SW1='63' or '65', the state of the non-volatile memory is changed. When SW1='6X' except '63' and '65', the state of the non-volatile memory is unchanged.
Due to specifications in part 3 of ISO/IEC 7816, this part does not define the following values of SW1-SW2 :
The following values of SW1-SW2 are defined whichever protocol is used (see examples in annex A).
NOTE - A functionality similar to that offered by '61XX' may be offered at application level by '9FXX'. However, applications may use '9FXX' for other purposes.
Table 12 completed by tables 13 to 18 shows the general meanings of the values of SW1-SW2 defined in this part of ISO/IEC 7816. For each command, an appropriate clause provides more detailed meanings.
Tables 13 to 18 specify values of SW2 when SW1 is valued to '62', '63', '65', '68', '69' and '6A'. The values of SW2 not defined in tables 13 to 18 are RFU, except the values from 'F0' to 'FF' which are not defined in this part of ISO/IEC 7816.

A logical channel, as seen at the interface, works as a logical link to a DF.
There shall be independence of activity on one logical channel from activity on another one. That is, command interdependencies on one logical channel shall be independent of command interdependencies on another logical channel. However, logical channels may share application-dependent security status and therefore may have security-related command interdependencies across logical channels (e.g. password verification).
Commands referring to a certain logical channel carry the respective logical channel number in the CLA byte (see tables 8 and 9). Logical channels are numbered from 0 to 3. If a card supports the logical channel mechanism, then the maximum number of available logical channels is indicated in the card capabilities (see 8.3.6).
Command-response pairs work as currently described. This part of ISO/IEC 7816 supports only command-response pairs which shall be completed before initiating a subsequent command-response pair. There shall be no interleaving of commands and their responses across logical channels; between the receipt of a command and the sending of the response to that command only channel is opened it remains open until explicity closed by a MANAGE CHANNEL command.
NOTES
The basic logical channel is permanently available. When numbered, its number is 0. When the class byte is coded according to table 8 and 9, the bits b1 and b2 code the logical channel number.
A logical channel is opened by successful completion of
The close function of the MANAGE CHANNEL command may be used to explicitly close a logical channel using the logical channel number. After closing the logical channel number will be available for re-use. The basic logical channel shall not be closed.
The goal of secure messaging (SM) is to protect [part of] the messages to and from a card by ensuring two basic security functions: data authentication and data confidentiality.
Secure messaging is achieved by applying one or more security mechanisms. Each security mechanism involves an algorithm, a key, an argument and often, initial data.
This clause defines 3 types of SM-related data objects :
In each message involving security mechanisms based on cryptography, the data field shall comply with the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 (see ISO/IEC 8825 and annex D), unless otherwise indicated by the class byte (see 5.4.1).
In the data field, the present SM format may be selected
In the context-specific class, the bit 1 of the tag fixes whether the SM-related data object shall (b1=1) or not (b1=0) be integrated in the computation of a data object for authentication. If present, the data objects of the other classes shall be integrated in such a computation.
Encapsulation is mandatory for data not coded in BER-TLV and for BER-TLV, including SM-related data objects. Encapsulation is optional for BER-TLV, not including SM-related data objects. Table 19 shows plain data objects for encapsulation.
Tag | Value |
---|---|
'B0','B1' | BER-TLV, including SM-related data objects |
'B2','B3' | BER-TLV, but not SM-related data objects |
'80','81' | not BER-TLV-coded data |
'99' | SM status information (e.g. SW1-SW2) |
The computation of cryptographic checksums (see ISO/IEC 9797) involves an initial check block, secret key and a block cipher algorithm that need not be reversible. The algorithm under control of the related key basically transforms a current input block of k bytes (typically 8 or 16) into a current output block of the same length.
The computation of a cryptographic checksum is performed in the following consecutive stages :
The cryptographic checksum shall integrate any SM-related data object having a tag where b1=1 and any data object with a tag outside the range from '80' to 'BF'. Those data objects shall integrate data block by data block in the current check block. The splitting into data blocks shall be performed in the following way.
The padding consists of one mandatory byte valued to '80' followed, if needed, by 0 to k-1 bytes set to '00', until the respective data block is filled up to k bytes. Padding for authentication has no influence on transmission as the padding bytes shall not be transmitted.
The mode of operation is "cipher block chaining" (see ISO/IEC 10116). The first input is the exclusive-or of the initial check block with the first data block. The first output results from the first data block. The first output results from the first input. The current input is the exclusive-or of the previous output with the current data block. The current output results from the current input. The final check block is the last output.
Table 20 shows the cryptographic checksum data object.
Tag | Value |
---|---|
'8E' | Cryptographic checksum (at least 4 bytes) |
The digital signature computation is typically based upon asymmetric cryptographic techniques. There are two types of digital signatures :
The computation of a digital signature with appendix implies the use of a hash function (see ISO/IEC 10118). The data input either consists of the value of the digital signature input data object (see table 21), or is determined by the mechanism define in 5.6.3.1.
The computation of a digital signature related data objects.
Tag | |
---|---|
'9A','BA' | Digital signature input data |
'9E' | Digital signature |
Data objects for confidentiality are intended for carrying a cryptogram which plain value consists of one of the following 3 cases :
Padding has to be indicated when the plain value consists of not BER-TLV coded data. When padding is applied but not indicated the rules defined in 5.6.3.1 shall apply.
Tag | Value |
---|---|
'82','83' | BER-TLV, including SM-related data objects |
'84','85' | BER-TLV, but not SM-related data objects |
'86','87' | Padding indicator byte (see table 23) followed by cryptogram (plain not coded in BER-TLV) |
Every data object for confidentiality may use any cryptographic algorithm and any mode of operation owning to an appropriate algorithm reference (see 5.6.5.1). In the absence of an algorithm reference and when no mechanism is implicitly selected for confidentiality a default mechanism shall apply.
For the computation of a cryptogram which is preceded by the padding indicator, the default mechanism is block cipher in "electronic code book" mode (see ISO/IEC 10116). The use of a block cipher may involve padding. Padding for confidentiality has an influence on transmission, the cryptogram (one or more blocks is longer than the plain text).
Table 23 shows the padding indicator byte
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
'00' | No further indication |
'01' | Padding as defined in 5.6.3.1 |
'02' | No padding |
'80' to '8E' | Proprietary |
Other values are RFU |
For the computation of a cryptogram not preceded by a padding indicator byte, the default mechanism is a stream cipher with exclusive-or of the string of data bytes to be concealed with a concealing string of the same length. Concealment thus requires no padding and the data objects concealed in the value field are recovered by the same operation.
An algorithm, a key and, possibly initial data may be selected for each security mechanism
Each command message may carry a response descriptor template fixing the data objects required in response. Inside the response descriptor, the security mechanisms are not yet applied: the receiving entity shall apply them for constructing the response.
Table 24 shows the control reference templates.
Tag | Meaning |
---|---|
'B4','B5' | Template valid for cryptographic checksum |
'B6','B7' | Template valid for digital signature |
'B8','B9' | Template valid for confidentiality |
The last possible position of a control reference template is just before the first data object to which the referred mechanism applies. For example, the last possible position of a template for cryptographic checksum is just before the first data object integrated in the computation.
Each control reference remains valid until a new control reference is provided for the same mechanism. For example, a command may fix control references for the next command.
Each control reference template is intended for carrying control reference data objects (see table 25): an algorithm reference, a file reference, a key reference, an initial data reference and only in a control reference template for confidentiality a cryptogram contents reference.
The algorithm reference fixes an algorithm and its mode of operation (see ISO/IEC 9979 and 10116). Structure and coding of the algorithm reference are not defined in this part of ISO/IEC 7816.
The file reference denotes the file where the key reference is valid. If no file reference is present, then the key reference is valid in the current DF.
The key reference identifies the key to be used.
The initial data reference, when applied to cryptographic checksums, fixes the initial check block. If no initial data reference is present and no initial check block is implicitly selected, then the null block shall be used. Moreover, before transmitting the first data object for confidentiality using a stream cipher, a template for confidentiality shall provide auxiliary data for initializing the computation of the string of concealing bytes.
The cryptogram contents reference specifies the content of the cryptogram (e.g. secret key, initial password, control words). The first byte of the value field is named the type cryptogram descriptor byte and is mandatory. The range '00' to '7F' is RFU. The range '80' to 'FF' is proprietary.

When the ENVELOPE command is used under T=0 for transmitting data strings, an empty data field in an ENVELOPE command APDU means end of data string.
Data field | Empty or (part of) APDU according to Le |
SW1-SW2 | Status bytes |
NOTE - The status bytes belong to the ENVELOPE command. Status bytes of a command transmitted in the data field of the ENVELOPE command may be found in the data field of the ENVELOPE response.
The following specific error conditions may occur.
The historical bytes tell the outside world how to use the card when the transport protocol is ascertained according to part 3 of ISO/IEC 7816.
The number of historical bytes (at most 15 bytes) is specified and coded as defined in part 3 of ISO/IEC 7816.
The information carried by the historical bytes may also be found in an ATR file (default EF identifier='2F01').
If parent, the historical bytes are made up of three fields :
The category indicator is the first historical byte. If the category indicator is equal to '00', '10' or '8X', then the format of the historical bytes shall be according to this part of ISO/IEC 7816.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
'00' | Status information shall be present at the end of the historical bytes (not in TLV). |
'10' | Specified in 8.5 |
'80' | Status information if present is contained in an optional COMPACT-TLV data object. |
'81'-'8F' | RFU |
Other values | Proprietary |
The coding of the COMPACT-TLV data objects is deduced from the basic encoding rules af ASN.1 (see ISO/IEC 8825 and annex D) for BER-TLV data objects with tag='4X' and length='0Y'. The coding of such data objects is replaced by 'XY' followed by 'Y' bytes of data. In this clause, 'X' is referred to as the tag number and 'Y' as the length.
Besides the data objects defined in this clause, the historical bytes may contain data objects defined in part 4 of ISO/IEC 7816. In this case the coding of the tags and length fields defined in part 5 shall be modified as above.
When COMPACT-TLV data objects defined in this clause appear in the ATR file, they shall be encoded according to the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 (i.e tag='4X', length='0Y').
All application-class tags not defined in ISO/IEC 7816 are reserved for ISO.
When present this data object denotes a country or an issuer.
This data object is introduced by either '1Y' or '2Y'.
Tag | Length | Value |
---|---|---|
'1' | variable | Country code and national date |
'2' | variable | Issuer identification number |
The tag '1' is followed by the appropriate length (1 nibble) and by three digits denoting the country as defined in ISO 3166. Data which follows (odd number of nibbles) is chosen by the relevant national standardization body.
The tag '2' is followed by the appropriate length (1 nibble) and by the issuer identification number as defined in part 1 of ISO/IEC 7812. If the issuer identification number contains an odd number of digits, then it shall be right padded with a nibble valued 'F'.
This data object denotes the methods available in the card for supporting the services described in clause 9.
This data object is introduced by '31'.
When this data object is not present, the card supports only the implicit application selection.

This optional data object allows the retrieval of a string of data objects defined in ISO/IEC 7816. The string retrieved by this data object is called the "initial data string".
This data object is introduced by '41','42' or '45'.
Any command APDU described in this clause is assumed to be the first command sent after the answer to reset. Consequently, the data available at this point may not be subsequently retrievable.
When only one byte of information is provided, it indicates the length of the command to perform for retrieving the initial data string. The command to perform is a READ BINARY command structured as follows :
CLA | '00' (see 5.4.1) |
INS | 'B0' |
P1-P2 | '0000' |
Lc field | Empty |
Data field | Empty |
Le field | First and only byte of value field of initial access data (indicating the number of bytes to be read) |
When two bytes of information are provided, the first byte indicates the file structure (transparent or record) and the short identifier of the EF to be read. The second byte indicates the length of the READ command to perform for retrieving data string.
b8 | = 0 Record oriented file = 1 Transparent file |

The status information consists of 3 bytes: the card life status (1 byte) and the two status bytes SW1-SW2.
The value '00' of the card life status indicates that no card life status is provided. The values '80' to 'FE' are proprietary. All other values are RFU.
The value '9000' of SW1-SW2 indicates normal processing as defined in 5.4.5.
The value '0000' of SW1-SW2 indicates that the status is not indicated.
If the category indicator is valued to '80', then the status information may be present in a COMPACT-TLV data object. In this case, the tag number is '8'. When the length is '1', then the value is the card life status. When the length is '2', then the value is SW1-SW2. When the length is '3', then the value is the card life status followed by SW1-SW2. Other values of the length are reserved for ISO.
If the category indicator is '10', then the following byte is the DIR data reference. The coding and meaning of this byte are outside the scope of this part of the ISO/IEC 7816.
This clause describes the application-independent card services, referred to as "card services" in the following text. Their purpose is to provide interchange mechanisms between a card and an interface device knowing nothing about each other except that both comply with this part of ISO/IEC 7816.
Card services are supported by any combination of
There is no need for an application to comply with this clause once it has been identified and selected in the card. It is possible for an application to use other mechanisms compatible with this part of ISO/IEC 7816 for achieving similar functions. Therefore such solutions may not guarantee interchange.
The following card services are defined
This function consists of the card providing information to the outside world on its logical content as well as some general data objects all applications might be interested in (e.g. interindustry data objects). The information, called "card identification data", is given by the card in the historical bytes and possibly in a file implicitly selected immediately after the answer to reset.
Access to this file is indicated in the initial access data information (see 8.3.3).
If the initial access data of the historical bytes does not denote a READ command, then the response to the command to perform contains card identification data.
An application is either implicitly selected in a card or can be explicitly selected by its name.
When an application is implicitly selected in a card, the application identifier as defined in part 5 of ISO/IEC 7816 should be indicated in the card identification data. If not present in the card identification data, then it shall be present in the ATR file.
A card in a multi-application environment shall be able to respond positively to a direct application selection performed by a SELECT FILE command specifying the application identifier as DF name.
The application identifier should be provided completely in the command APDU. In case of an application selection by partial DF name, the next application matching with the name proposed may be selected and the full DF name will be made available in the response message of the SELECT FILE command as the file control parameter with tag '84' (see table 2).
The APDU of the command to perform is the following.
CLA | '00' (see 5.4.1) |
INS | 'A4' |
P1-P1 | '0400' |
Lc field | Length in bytes of the data field |
Data field | Full or partial DF name |
Le field | Present, contains only zeroes |
Data objects used for application-independent international interchange are defined in this part and other parts of ISO/IEC 7816.
The retrieval of those data objects relies on one or both of the following menthods :
When the path to an EF is known, the number of SELECT FILE commands to be issued equals the length of the path divided by two, minus one (the path always starts with the current DF).
If the path length is more than four bytes, then until all available DF identifiers of the path have been used, one or more SELECT FILE commands shall be performed with the following command APDU.
CLA | '00' (see 5.4.1) |
INS | 'A4' |
P1-P2 | '0100' |
Lc field | '02' |
Data field | DF identifier (from bytes 3 and 4 of the path) |
Le field | Empty |
The last and possibly only selection is an EF selection with the following command APDU.

INS | 'A4' |
P1-P2 | '0200' |
Lc field | '02' |

Eatch BER-TLV data object (see ISO/IEC 8825) shall consist of 2 or 3 consecutive fields :
ISO/IEC 7816 uses neither '00' nor 'FF' as tag value.
NOTE - Before, between or after BER-TLV data objects, '00' or 'FF' bytes without any meaning may occur (e.g. due to erased or modified TLV-coded data objects).
The bits B8 and B7 of the leading byte of tag field shall encode the tag class, i.e. the class of the data object.
If the bits B5-B1 of the leading byte are not all set to 1, then may they shall encode an integer equal to the tag number which therefore lies in the range from 0 to 30. Then the tag field consists of a single byte.
Otherwise (B5-B1 set to 1 in the leading byte), the tag field shall continue on one or more subsequent bytes.
In short form, the length field consists of a single byte where the bit B8 shall be set to 0 and the bits B7-B1 shall encode an integer equal to the number of bytes in the value field. Any length from 0-127 can thus be encoded by 1 byte.
In long form, the length field consists of a leading byte where the bit B8 shall be set to 1 and the B7-B1 shall not be all equal, thus encoding a positive integer equal to the number of subsequent bytes in the length field. Those subsequent bytes shall encode an integer equal to the number of bytes in the value field. Any length within the APDU limit (up to 65535) can thus be encoded by 3 bytes.
NOTE - ISO/IEC 7816 does not use the indefinite lengths specified by the basic encoding rules of ASN.1 (see ISO/IEC 8825).
In this part of ISO/IEC 7816, the value field of some primitive BER-TLV data objects consists of zero, one or more SIMPLE-TLV data objects.
The value field of any other primitive BER-TLV data object consists of zero, one or more data elements fixed by the specifications of the data objects.
The value field of each constructed BER-TLV data object consists of zero, one or more BER-TLV data objects.

For the purpose of this annex, the following abbreviations apply
CC | Cryptographic checksum |
CG | Cryptogram |
CH | Command header (CLA INS P1 P2) |
CR | Control reference |
FR | File reference |
KR | Key reference |
L | Length |
PB | Padding bytes ('80' followed by 0 to k-1 times '00' where k is the block length) |
PI | Padding indicator byte |
PV | Plain value |
RD | Response descriptor |
T | Tag |
|| | Concatenation |
For all the examples, CLA indicates the use of secure messaging by an appropriate value ('0X', '8X', '9X' or 'AX') where bit b4 of CLA is set to 1 (see table 9).
The use of cryptographic checksums (see 5.6.3.1) is shown for the four cases defined in table 4 and figure 4.
Command data field = Tcc||Lcc||CC
Data covered by CC (b3=1 in CLA) = First and only data block = CH||PB
The command of case 1 is transformed into a command of case 3.
Command data field = Tcc||Lcc||CC
Data covered by CC (b3=1 in CLA) = First and only data block = CH||PB
Response data field = Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv||PV||Tcc||Lcc||CC
Data covered by CC = Data blocks = Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv||PV||PB
Command data field = Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv||PV||Tcc||Lcc||CC
Data covered by CC (b3=0 in CLA) = Data blocks = Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv||PV||PB
Command data field = Tpv1 (b1=0)||Lpv1||PV1||Tpv2 (b1=1)||Lpv2||PV2||Tcc||Lcc||CC
Data covered by CC (b3=1 in CLA) = Data blocks = CH||PB||Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv2||PV2||PB
Command data field = Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv||PV||Tcc||Lcc||CC
Data covered by CC (b3=0 in CLA) = Data blocks = Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv||PV||PB
Response data field = Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv||PV||Tcc||Lcc||CC
Data covered by CC = Data blocks = Tpv (b1=1)||Lpv||PV||PB
The use of cryptograms (see 5.6.4) is shown with and without padding.
Command data field = Tcg||Lcg||PI||CG
Data carried by CG = Data blocks = Non BER-TLV coded data band padding bytes, if indicated in PI.
The use of control references (see 5.6.5.1) is shown.
Command data field = Tcr||Lcr||CR
Where CR = Tfr||Lfr||Tkr||Lkr||KR
The use of response descriptor (see 5.6.5.1) is shown.
Command data field = Trd||Lrd||RD
Where RD = Tpv||'0C'||Tcc||'00'
Response data field = Tpv||Lpv||PV||Tcc||Lcc||CC
The use of the ENVELOPE command is shown.
Commad data field = Tcg||Lcg||PI||CG
Data carried by CG = Command APDU starting by CH and padding bytes according to PI
Response data field = Tcg||Lcg||PI||CG
Data carried by CG = Response APDU and padding bytes according to PI
