TERMS
• IFD: Interface Device. A terminal, communication device, or machine to which the
integrated circuit(s) card is electrically connected during operation.
• PCD: Proximity Coupling Device. ISO 14443 Contactless Reader.
• ICC: Integrated Circuit(s) Card. Refer to a plastic card containing an integrated circuit,
which is compatible with ISO 7816.
• PICC: Proximity Integrated Circuit(s) Card. Contactless Cards operating without
mechanical contact to the IFD, using magnetic coupling.
• Combi-Card: A smart card that supports both ICC and PICC Interfaces. But only one
interface can be operating at any one time.
• Hybrid-Card: A smart card that consists of both ICC and PICC cards. Both ICC and PICC
cards can be operating at the same time.
• USB: Universal Serial Bus, a common device interface used in PC environment.
• CCID: The specifications for USB devices that interface with ICC or act as interfaces with
ICC/PICC.
• PCSC: Personal Computer Smart Card, a specification that can facilitate the interoperability
necessary to allow ICC/PICC technology to be effectively utilized in the PC environment.
• ISO 7816: A standard for contact smart cards (ICC).
• T=0: Character-oriented asynchronous half duplex transmission protocol for ICCs (ISO
7816).
• T=1: Block-oriented asynchronous half duplex transmission protocol for ICCs (ISO 7816).
• ISO 14443: A standard for contactless smart cards (PICC)
• T=CL: Block-oriented asynchronous half duplex transmission protocol for PICCs (ISO
14443).
• APDU: Application Protocol Data Unit.
• ATR: Answer-to-Reset. The transmission sent by an ICC to the reader (IFD) in response to
a RESET condition.
• ATS: Answer-to-Select. The transmission sent by a PICC Type A to the reader (PCD) in
response to a SELECT condition.
• ATQB: Answer-to-Request. The transmission sent by a PICC Type B to the reader (PCD)
in response to a REQUEST condition.
• Card Insertion Event: Either an ICC or a PICC is just appeared to the reader.
•
Card Removal Event: Either an ICC or a PICC is removed from the reader.
• NAK: Negative Acknowledge, only used to get the last response or slot change message
report in ACR1281S.
• XOR : Exclusive OR
• RDR: ACR1281S.
• HOST: Host Controller.
• HOST_to_RDR: Host Controller -> ACR1281S
• RDR_to_HOST: ACR1281S -> Host Controlle
