ISO 18013:2020

Description

The purpose of storing IDL data on machine-readable media on the IDL is to:

– increase productivity (of data and IDL use),

– facilitate electronic data exchange, and

– assist in authenticity and integrity validation.

This document thus specifies the following:

– mandatory and optional machine-readable data;

– the logical data structure;

– encoding rules for the machine-readable technologies currently supported.

To prevent unauthorised access to the data contained on a contactless IC (e.g. by eavesdropping), the privacy of the licence holder is protected via basic access protection requiring a human-readable and/or machine-readable key/password on the IDL to access the data on the PIC (via protected-channel communication). The implementation details of this function are defined in ISO/IEC 18013-3.
