ISO

Since SC6 was established in 1964, SC6 has worked on standardization in the field of telecommunications dealing with the exchange of information between open systems, including system functions, procedures, parameters as well as the conditions for their use. This standardization encompasses protocols and services of lower layers including physical, data link, network, and transport as well as those of upper layers including but not limited to Directory and ASN.1: MFAN, NFC, PLC, Future Networks and OID. A considerable part of the work also has been done in effective cooperation with ITU-T SG’s and other standardization bodies, including IEEE 802, ECMA International, and NFC Forum. SC6 is responsible for 353 published International Standards and 35 open project items.

Recently SC6 approved new work items on Future Network Architecture and its Protocols and Mechanisms which would support emerging services and applications beyond the limitations of the current networks

ISO 17839-2:2015 defines the following:
- Dimensions of a Biometric System-on-Card type S1 and type S2;
- Position and size of the biometric capture device;
- Minimum requirements to a Biometric System-on-Card with respect to

• mechanical durability, and
• man-machine interface and ergonomics.

The standardization of other on-card devices such as an electronic display or a keypad is outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 17839.

ISO/IEC 7816-9:2017 specifies interindustry commands for card, file and other structure management, i.e. data object and security object. These commands cover the entire life cycle of the card and therefore some commands are used before the card has been issued to the cardholder or after the card has expired. For details on record life cycle status, refer to ISO/IEC 7816-4.

ISO/IEC 7816-9:2017 is not applicable to the internal implementation within the card and/or the outside world.

This document specifies the nature and characteristics of the fields to be provided for power and bi-directional communications between vicinity coupling devices (VCDs) and vicinity cards (VICCs). This document is intended to be used in conjunction with other parts of the ISO/IEC 15693 series.

ISO/IEC 14443-1:2018 defines the physical characteristics of proximity cards (PICCs).

ISO/IEC 14443-1:2018 is intended to be used in conjunction with other parts of ISO/IEC 14443.

ISO/IEC 7816-3:2006 specifies the power and signal structures, and information exchange between an integrated circuit card and an interface device such as a terminal.

It also covers signal rates, voltage levels, current values, parity convention, operating procedure, transmission mechanisms and communication with the card. It does not cover information and instruction content, such as identification of issuers and users, services and limits, security features, journaling and instruction definitions.

This standard was last reviewed and confirmed in 2018. Therefore this version remains current.

ISO/IEC TR 30125:2016 provides guidance for developing a consistent and secure method of biometric (either alone or supported by non-biometric) personalization and authentication in a mobile environment for systems procured on the open market.

Procurements of biometric systems often stipulate requirements for the systems to be inclusive and make provision for exception handling.

ISO/IEC TR 29194:2015 provides guidance for biometric system design and procurement to handle the range of accessibility and usability issues.
This report will build upon the generic guidance in ISO/IEC/TR 24714‑1,

• Information technology
• Biometrics
• Jurisdictional and societal considerations for commercial applications
• Part 1: General guidance.

ISO/IEC TR 29144:2014 discusses:

• Concepts and considerations for the use of biometrics in a commercial Identity Management Solution,
• Items that need to be considered when integrating biometrics into a commercial Identity Management Solution, and
• Implementation issues when implementing biometrics into commercial Identity Management Solutions.

This document specifies the test methods used for conformity testing, to determine whether an ICC with at least one ICC-managed device is considered to conform with the specifications of ISO/IEC 18328-3, e.g. device management and device handling.

ISO/IEC 24727 specifies a set of programming interfaces and protocols enabling interactions between integrated circuit cards (ICCs) and applications resident on a variety of computer platforms. The ICCs provide generic services for multi-sector use by the applications. The organization and the operation of the ICCs conform to ISO/IEC 7816 4. It is anticipated that some application domains will seek to achieve interoperability through ISO/IEC 24727 facilities even though the applications pre-exist these facilities. To this end, various means of backward compatibility are established through mechanisms specified in ISO/IEC 24727.

ISO/IEC 24727-1:2014 specifies

• system architecture and principles of operation,
• the means for achieving interoperability among diverse application domains,
• the conceptual service and data models that span the relevant application domains, and
• the rationale for trusted processes enabled under these models.

This standard was last reviewed and confirmed in 2015. Therefore this version remains current.
