Hi,

the CPLC string, while present on all EMV cards, does not contribute in 
security-focused process (e.g. it isn't used for static or dynamic data 
authentication).

these data are only used for audit of a smartcard since they provide 
information on "who did what" prior its issuance.

the content of this string is defined as follows:

* 5 ROM identifiers (10 bytes), each consisting of 4 digits coded on 2 bytes:
� IC Fabricator (2B)
� IC Type (2B)
� Operating System Provider Identifier (2B)
� Operating System Release Date (2B)
� Operating System Release Level (2B)

* EEPROM Identifiers contain chip, card, pre-perso & personalizer info., in 
the given order :
� Chip Identifiers:
� IC Fabrication Date (2B)
� IC Serial Number (4B)
� IC Batch Identifier (2B)

� Card identifiers :
� IC Module Fabricator  (2B)
� IC Module Packaging Date      (2B)
� ICC Manufacturer      (2B)
� IC Embedding date     (2B)

� Pre-personalization identifiers :
� Pre-personalizer Identifier (2B)
� Pre-personalization Date (2B)
� Pre-personalization Equipment (4B)

� Personalization identifiers :
� Personalizer Identifier (2B)
� Personalization Date (2B)
� Personalization Equipment (4B)

cheers,
Sylvain.
