DIN CEN/TS 15480-3:2014-06

DIN CEN/TS 15480-3 (DIN SPEC 91130-3) is part of a series of Technical Specifications containing requirements for a European Citizen Card (ECC). The ECC is a smart card which is issued by a national and local authority and which contains credentials to allow one or all of the following services: - identity verification; - use as travel document within the European Union; - facilitation of logical access to government eServices or services of local service facilities. DIN CEN/TS 15480-3 (DIN SPEC 91130-3) specifies an Interoperability Model which will enable an eService to interoperate with different implementations of the European Citizen Card. The Interoperability Model will be developed as follows: - starting from the Part 2, Part 3 of the ECC series provides additional technical specifications for a middleware architecture based on ISO/IEC 24727. This middleware will provide an application programming interface to an eService as per ISO/IEC 24727-3. - a set of additional application programming interfaces provides the middleware stack with means to facilitate ECC services. - a standard mechanism for the validation of the e-ID credential is stored in the ECC and retrieved by the eService. In order to support the ECC services over a middleware configuration according to ISO/IEC 24727, this part of the standard specifies the following: - a set of mandatory requests to be supported by the middleware implementation based on ISO/IEC 24727; - data set content for interoperability ton be personalised in the citizen card; - three middleware architecture solutions: one based on a stack of combined ISO/IEC 24727 configurations and the other based on Web Service configurations whereas the third one relies on a SAL Lite component; - an Application Discovery Profile featuring the guidelines for card applications to fit in ISO/IEC 24727 framework.
