EMV - EMV Commands

EMV Commands

ISO/IEC 7816-3 defines the transmission protocol between chip cards and readers. Using this protocol, data is exchanged in application protocol data units (APDUs). This comprises sending a command to a card, the card processing it, and sending a response. EMV uses the following commands:

  • application block
  • application unblock
  • card block
  • external authenticate (7816-4)
  • generate application cryptogram
  • get data (7816-4)
  • get processing options
  • internal authenticate (7816-4)
  • PIN change / unblock
  • read record (7816-4)
  • select (7816-4)
  • verify (7816-4).

Commands followed by "7816-4" are defined in ISO/IEC 7816-4 and are interindustry commands used for many chip card applications such as GSM SIM cards.

Famous quotes containing the word commands:

    They went to him and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he woke up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were afraid and amazed, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 8:24-25.
