PD CEN/TS 15480-2 is the second part of the multiple series document that is applicable to identification card systems.
PD CEN/TS 15480-2 specifies the logical characteristics and security features at the card/system interface for the European Citizen Card. In order to reach the interoperability objective, IAS services are compliant with EN 14890 Part 1 and Part 2. As the EN documents offer options, this specification fully defines a complete profile.
Note 1: PD CEN/TS 15480-2 also considers ICAO Doc 9303.
Note 2: PD CEN/TS 15480-2 does not mandate the use of a particular technology, and is intended to allow both native and Java card technologies.
PD CEN/TS 15480-2 on identification card systems is useful for:
The European Citizen Card supports the data structures. These data structures store externally accessed data (certificates, card serial numbers, etc...). Exceptions from this rule, i.e., cases where data objects are used that can be accessed by a GET DATA command are listed in the description of the services.
PD CEN/TS 15480-2 specifies European Citizen Card which is a smart card with Identification, Authentication, and electronic Signature (IAS) services. Therefore, it specifies the supported services, supporting data structures, as well as the access to these structures and defines the command set.
Overall, PD CEN/TS 15480-2 helps you to ensure the interoperability at the card/system interface in the usage phase.
