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:
“Jefferson Smith: If you thought as much as being honest as you do of being smart ...
Diz: Honest? Why, we’re the only ones who can afford to be honest in what we tell the voters. We don’t have to be re-elected like politicians.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“I must save this government if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“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)
