This document proposes a framework based on the GlobalPlatform Card Specification that is compliant with ISO specifications ISO/IEC 7816-13, ISO/IEC 7816-4, ISO/IEC 24727-2 and INCITS 504. In this specification, card content operations are protected by the Secure Channel Protocol '03' as defined in GPCS Amendment D. Further precisions on the usage of this protocol are given in this document.

This specification describes the ISO Security Domain (ISO-SD), which is a specific implementation of Security Domain that is compatible with the latest ISO specifications. In particular, an ISO-SD shall support an alternative set of commands, compatible with ISO 7816-13, giving access to card content management, Secure Channel initiation, and personalization functions.
