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:
“For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“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)
