Full title and description

ISO 10202-4:1996/Cor 1:1999 — Financial transaction cards — Security architecture of financial transaction systems using integrated circuit cards — Part 4: Secure application modules — Technical Corrigendum 1. This document is a technical corrigendum that corrects or clarifies parts of ISO 10202-4:1996 (the Part 4 specification for Secure Application Modules, SAMs).

Abstract

The corrigendum supplies technical corrections and clarifications to ISO 10202-4:1996, which specifies the minimum security requirements for a Secure Application Module (SAM) used with a Card Accepting Device (CAD). The underlying Part 4 standard defines SAM lifecycle, activation/deactivation, interfaces to CADs, cryptographic key loading and related security requirements for processing financial transactions.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn.
• Publication date: December 1999 (Corrigendum edition).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 35.240.15 (Identification cards and related devices).
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (Corrigendum 1: 1999).
• Number of pages: 1 (corrigendum document). Note: the main Part 4 standard (ISO 10202-4:1996) is a separate document of 15 pages.

Scope

This corrigendum amends ISO 10202-4:1996 by providing technical corrections to the Part 4 requirements for Secure Application Modules (SAMs). ISO 10202-4 defines the minimum security requirements and lifecycle rules for SAMs that supplement Card Accepting Devices (CADs), including initialization, activation/deactivation, interfaces with the ICC/CAD, cryptographic key selection and loading, and conformance with related card standards (for example ISO/IEC 7816 where applicable). The corrigendum itself is brief and intended only to correct or clarify specific technical points in the original Part 4 text.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and minimum security requirements for a Secure Application Module (SAM) used in financial transaction processing.
• SAM lifecycle controls: initialization, activation, deactivation and destruction.
• Interfaces between SAM and Card Accepting Device (CAD), including physical, electrical and protocol characteristics.
• Procedures for loading, replacing and protecting cryptographic keys held in the SAM.
• Requirements for authentication exchanges between SAM and integrated circuit card (ICC) during transaction processing.
• Conformance expectations and references to related ISO/IEC standards (for example ISO/IEC 7816 series).

Typical use and users

Used by payment system architects, card issuers, terminal and SAM vendors, implementers of card acceptance equipment, security engineers and conformity assessment bodies. The corrigendum is consulted when applying or implementing ISO 10202-4:1996 to ensure correct interpretation of the SAM-related clauses.

Related standards

ISO 10202 is a multi-part series titled "Financial transaction cards — Security architecture of financial transaction systems using integrated circuit cards." Parts in the series include (but are not limited to) Part 1 (card life cycle), Part 2 (transaction process), Part 3 (cryptographic key relationships), Part 4 (secure application modules), Part 5 (use of algorithms), Part 6 (cardholder verification), and others; the corrigendum applies specifically to Part 4:1996.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is ISO 10202-4:1996/Cor 1:1999, a technical corrigendum to Part 4 of the ISO 10202 series (Secure Application Modules). The corrigendum provides corrections/clarifications to the original Part 4 text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It addresses technical corrections to the requirements for Secure Application Modules used with Card Accepting Devices — i.e., the security, lifecycle and interface requirements for SAMs that hold application and cryptographic material for financial transactions. For full details see ISO 10202-4:1996 itself.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Payment system designers, card issuers, terminal and SAM manufacturers, integrators, security engineers and conformity/test laboratories who implement or assess SAM-related functionality in payment acceptance devices.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum (and the associated ISO 10202-4:1996 main document) is listed as withdrawn. National and standards bodies record the Part 4 publication as withdrawn (many sources indicate withdrawal/obsolescence entry around 17 March 2006 for the main Part 4). Users should check with their national standards body or ISO for the current normative references and any more recent replacements or related publications.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10202 is a multipart series covering the security architecture of financial transaction systems using integrated circuit cards; Part 4 deals specifically with Secure Application Modules and this corrigendum applies to that part.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Secure Application Module (SAM), Card Accepting Device (CAD), payment card security, ISO 10202-4, corrigendum, cryptographic key loading, SAM lifecycle, ISO/IEC 7816.
