Description / Abstract:
This part of the multi-part GICS standard defines the Card
Application profile template to describe all card data elements and
card structure required for a specific GICS card application.
In the context of the GICS standard, this part is based on GICS
Part 1: Card Application Command Set and GICS Part 2: Card
Administration Command Set.
The GICS standard defines a set of extensions to the SP 800-73-3
so that card-application issuers may have added flexibility in
extending their data model while allowing relying parties to
interoperably use the cards from different issuers. These
extensions would favor the penetration of GICS standard at three
levels. Manufacturers will be able to minimize design and
implementation costs; card issuers will manage a simple platform
based on a successful and largely adopted schema; middleware and
operating system providers will be able to adapt to different
identity applications that are based on a single GICS standard.
The Card Application profile template defines the template that
is used to describe the data model of the GICS card
application.
Purpose
The purpose of this part of the Generic Identity Command Set
standard is to define the card profile template to use to describe
the set of data elements and architecture required for GICS
applications resident on a single platform.
The use of such card profile template to describe a Card profile
application should help relying parties to have a detailed and
consistent card data model for all GICS applications.
