The IEEE 1667 Smart Card Transport Silo
Use IEEE 1667 to communicate with a secure module
What does it bring to IEEE 1667?
- Leverage Smart Cards use cases and standards
- Potential extension to an authentication silo
What does it bring to Smart Card systems?
- Leverage IEEE 1667 new transports
- Improves discovery mechanisms and integration in OS
Use cases: examples & standards
- Automatic login (PIV)
- Biometry / Fingerprint matching (ISO 19794-2& ISO/IEC 7816-11)
- PKI Cryptographic Services (PKCS#11 & CAPI)
Simple encapsulation transport
- Command / response nature of Smart Card exchanges maps well on P_OUT / P_IN pairs
- One command to encapsulate an existing command protocol: Message Exchange
- For flexibility, the silo supports different encapsulation protocols
- Additional commands to detect & manage silo capabilities: GetSCTS Transport Mode Description, Set SCTS Transport Mode
- Three transports encapsulation supported for now:
- ICCD
- CCID
- “Raw” APDUs (An APDU is encapsulated in a transport protocol, itself encapsulated in an IEEE 1667 command)

Famous quotes containing the words smart, card and/or transport:
“A smart man never suffers certain defeat.”
—Chinese proverb.
“There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
—Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
