This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by the 3 Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal
TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an
identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows:
Version x.y.z
where:
x the first digit:
1 presented to TSG for information;
2 presented to TSG for approval;
3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control.
y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections,
updates, etc.
z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document.
Introduction
The present document defines a generic Terminal/Integrated Circuit Card (ICC) interface for 3GPP applications. The
present document is based on ETSI TS 102 221 [1], which defines a generic platform for any IC card application. The
functionality provided by this platform may be operated either over the electrical interface specified in
ETSI TS 102 221 [1], or by transporting APDUs over the Inter-Chip USB Terminal/ICC interface specified in
ETSI TS 102 600 [7].
Requirements that are common to all 3GPP smart card based applications are also listed in this specification.
The aim of the present document is to ensure interoperability between an ICC and a terminal independently of the
respective manufacturer, card issuer or operato
