Full title and description

Financial transaction cards — Security architecture of financial transaction systems using integrated circuit cards — Part 8: General principles and overview. This part presents the general principles and an overview of security requirements for financial transaction systems that use integrated circuit (chip) cards, summarising mandatory and optional data elements and introducing other parts of the ISO 10202 series.

Abstract

ISO 10202-8:1998 provides high-level guidance on the security architecture for financial transaction systems employing integrated circuit cards. It frames the overall objectives, data-element concepts, and relationships among the parts of ISO 10202, helping system designers and implementers understand the architecture and security assumptions used across the series. The standard was published in July 1998 and has since been withdrawn.

Scope

This part (Part 8) defines general principles and provides an overview of security requirements for financial transaction systems that make use of integrated circuit cards. It summarises mandatory and optional data elements defined across the ISO 10202 series and establishes how the individual parts (card lifecycle, transaction process, cryptographic key relationships, key management, cardholder verification, algorithms, etc.) interrelate within a coherent security architecture.

Key topics and requirements

• Overview of the security architecture for IC-based financial transaction systems, including objectives and design assumptions.
• Summary of mandatory and optional data elements used across ISO 10202 parts.
• Relationship and introduction to other parts in the ISO 10202 series (card life cycle, transaction process, cryptographic key relationships, key management, cardholder verification, use of algorithms, secure application modules).
• High-level guidance for implementers on security roles, responsibilities and architectural boundaries.
• Terminology and conceptual frameworks to support consistent interpretation across the series.

Typical use and users

Used historically by payment system architects, card issuers, banks, payment network operators, card manufacturers, system integrators and standards committees as a reference for defining and aligning security architecture when deploying integrated circuit (chip) card solutions for financial transactions. It served as an introductory and coordinating document for implementers consulting the more detailed parts of ISO 10202.

Related standards

Other parts of the ISO 10202 series (e.g., Part 1: card life cycle; Part 2: transaction process; Part 3: cryptographic key relationships; Part 5: use of algorithms; Part 6: cardholder verification; Part 7: key management) and related ISO/IEC standards for integrated circuit cards and card interfaces (for example, ISO/IEC 7816 series). Many national/adopted versions (BS, NF, PN, etc.) were issued as identical texts. Note that several parts of ISO 10202 have also been withdrawn or superseded over time.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10202-8:1998 is Part 8 of the ISO 10202 series; it gives general principles and an overview of the security architecture for financial transaction systems using integrated circuit (chip) cards.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers high-level security objectives, the conceptual architecture, summary of mandatory and optional data elements, and an introduction to the other parts of ISO 10202 that address lifecycle, transactions, cryptographic relationships, key management, algorithms and cardholder verification.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Payment system architects, card issuers, banks, card manufacturers, integrators and standards bodies used the document as an orientation and coordination reference when implementing card-based financial transaction systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10202-8:1998 has been withdrawn; ISO’s lifecycle data shows withdrawal was completed in March 2006 (withdrawal ballot and close in early 2006). Users should consult current ISO catalog entries and more recent standards for up-to-date requirements and any replacement documents.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 10202 series (Financial transaction cards — Security architecture of financial transaction systems using integrated circuit cards), which includes several parts covering lifecycle, transaction processes, cryptographic relationships, key management, cardholder verification, algorithms and related topics.
