ISO 7816 Part 5: Numbering System and Registration Procedure for Application
Identifiers
Establishes standards for Application Identifiers (AIDs). An AID has two
parts. The first is a Registered Application Provider Identifier (RID) of
five bytes that is unique to the vendor. The second part is a variable
length field of up to 11 bytes called the Proprietary Application Identifier
Extension (PIX) that a vendor can use to identify specific applications.
Every
smart card application builder such as yourself can get a RID.
RIDs are assigned by the Dutch Telephone Company, KTAS, which is also the
ISO/IEC 7816-5 Registration Authority, KTAS's address is
Teglholmsgade 1, DK-1790, Copenhagen, V, Denmark, but the application has
to be approved by your national ISO body. RIDs cost 300 Danish Kroner
each ($40). For those in the US, Michelle Maas (212-642-4884) or Matthew
Deane
(212) 642-4992) at the American National Standards Institute will handle
requests for both national and international numbers. Forms for applying
for an RID can be found at www.scdk.com. Fax the application back to Matthew
Deane at ANSI, (212-840-2298) but make your payment directly to the
Registration Authority in Denmark.
If you want to issue a single application smart card then you need an Issuer
Identification Number (IIN) which is specified in ISO 7812. For U.S.
residents,
forms for an IIN are also available through Matthew Deane at ANSI. The cost
is $600.
