The present document defines the interface between the Universal Personal Telecommunication (UPT) card and the
Card Accepting Device (CAD) for the operational phase. It also defines those aspects of the internal organization of the
UPT card which are related to the operational phase. This is to ensure interoperability between a UPT card and a CAD
independently to the respective manufacturers and UPT service provider.
The present document only defines the interface between a UPT card and a card reading Dual Tone Multiple Frequency
(DTMF) device (I-ETS 300 380 [1]).
NOTE: Other types of CADs are under study.
The present document defines:
- the requirements for the physical characteristics of the UPT card, the electrical signals and the transmission
protocol;
- the model which shall be used as a basis for the design of the logical structure of the UPT card;
- the security features;
- the interface functions;
- the commands for operating the interface functions;
- the contents of the files required for the UPT application;
- the service set to be supported in the UPT card;
- the application protocol (security, services, etc.);
- the Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) proformas.
The present document does not specify any aspects related to the administrative management phase. Any internal
technical realization of either the UPT card or the CAD are only specified where these reflect over the interface. The
present document does not specify any of the security algorithms which may be used.
