5 Security architecture
The general coding of security attributes assigned to files by use of the CREATE FILE command is as described in
ETSI TS 102 221 [5].
6 Description of the functions and commands
6.0 Overview
A UICC supporting the command set based on the present document shall support the command as defined in the
present document. However, it is up to the UICC to provide more functionality than described in the present document.
This clause gives a functional description of the commands, their respective responses, associated status conditions,
error codes and their coding.
6.1 Coding of the commands
Table 1: Coding of the commands
Command CLA INS
CREATE FILE '0X' 'E0'
DELETE FILE '0X' 'E4'
DEACTIVATE FILE '0X' '04'
ACTIVATE FILE '0X' '44'
TERMINATE DF '0X' 'E6'
TERMINATE EF '0X' 'E8'
TERMINATE CARD USAGE '0X' 'FE'
RESIZE FILE '8X' 'D4'

The coding of the value X for the CLA-bytes in table 1 shall be according to ISO/IEC 7816-4 [2].
All bytes specified as RFU shall be set to '00' and all bits specified as RFU shall be set to 0.
These are the basic commands under the assumption of no Secure Messaging (SM). If SM is used, the Lc and data field
shall be adopted.
Other commands may be needed in order to execute the commands listed above (e.g. EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATE).
If such commands are necessary, they shall be coded according to ISO/IEC 7816-4 [2].
6.2 TLV objects
All TLVs described in the present document are BER-TLVs as described in ETSI TS 101 220 [7] and shall be
supported by the UICC.
The sequence of mandatory TLV objects within the data field of any command specified in the present document shall
be as in the description of the command.
According to the requirements of the application, the mandatory list of TLVs may be appended by one of the Tags '85'
(Proprietary Information Primitive, see ISO/IEC 7816-4 [2]) or 'A5' (Proprietary Information Constructed, see
ISO/IEC 7816-4 [2]).
Tag '85' or Tag 'A5' may be appended by other TLVs described in the present document or by any ISO/IEC or
application dependent optional TLV object if necessary for a particular application.

6.3 CREATE FILE
6.3.1 Definition and scope
This function allows the creation of a new file under the current directory. The access condition for the CREATE FILE
function of the current directory shall be fulfilled.
When creating an EF with linear fixed or cyclic structure the UICC shall directly create as many records as allowed by
the requested file size.
After the creation of a DF, the current directory shall be on the newly created file. In case of an EF creation, the current
EF shall be on the newly created file and the current directory is unchanged. After creation of an EF with linear fixed
structure, the record pointer is not defined. After creation of an EF with cyclic structure, the current record pointer is on
the last created record. After creation of an EF with BER TLV structure, the current tag pointer is undefined.
The memory space allocated shall be reserved for the created file.
If an ADF is created, some instance has to take care of the administration of the application, e.g. updating the EF
DIR
with the application ID. The CREATE FILE command does not take care of this administration by its own. The DF
Name tag shall only provide in the command, if an ADF is created.
The CREATE FILE command shall initialize newly created EFs with 'FF'. The content of the whole newly created EF
shall consist of bytes of this value. If, for another application, other default values are required, this default behaviour
can be overwritten by specifying an appropriate TLV in the application dependent data TLV (tag '85' or 'A5') of the
CREATE FILE command.
6.3.2 Command message
6.3.2.0 Command coding
The CREATE FILE command message is coded according to table 2.
Table 2: CREATE FILE command message
Code Value
CLA See table 1
INS See table 1
P1 '00'
P2 '00'
Lc Length of the subsequent data field
