本文件适用于任何活动部门。它规定: -在接口处交换的命令-响应对的内容， -检索卡中数据元素和数据对象的方法， -描述卡操作特征的历史字节的结构和内容， -卡中应用程序和数据的结构，如处理命令时的界面所示， -访问卡中文件和数据的方法， -定义对卡中文件和数据的访问权限的安全体系结构， -识别和寻址卡中应用程序的方法和机制， -安全消息传递的方法， -访问卡处理的算法的方法。它没有描述这些算法。 它不包括卡内或外部世界的内部实现。 本文档独立于物理接口技术。 它适用于通过以下一种或多种方法访问的卡:触点、紧密耦合和射频。如果卡支持同时使用多个物理接口，则不同物理接口上发生的事情之间的关系不在本文档的范围内。

This document is intended to be used in any sector of activity. It specifies: — contents of command-response pairs exchanged at the interface, — means of retrieval of data elements and data objects in the card, — structures and contents of historical bytes to describe operating characteristics of the card, — structures for applications and data in the card, as seen at the interface when processing commands, — access methods to files and data in the card, — a security architecture defining access rights to files and data in the card, — means and mechanisms for identifying and addressing applications in the card, — methods for secure messaging, — access methods to the algorithms processed by the card. It does not describe these algorithms. It does not cover the internal implementation within the card or the outside world. This document is independent from the physical interface technology. It applies to cards accessed by one or more of the following methods: contacts, close coupling and radio frequency. If the card supports simultaneous use of more than one physical interface, the relationship between what happens on different physical interfaces is out of the scope of this document.
