Information About

Iso 14443




ISO 14443 consists of four parts and describes two types of cards: type A and type B. The main differences between these types concern modulation methods, coding schemes (part 2) and protocol initialization procedures (part 3). Both type A and type B cards use the same high-level protocol (so called T=CL) described in part 4. The T=CL protocol specifies data block exchange and related mechanisms:

#data block chaining
#waiting time extension
#multi-activation

ISO 14443 uses following terms for components:
  • PCD — proximity coupling device (or reader)

  • PICC — proximity integrated circuit card


The Calypso (RFID) standard complies with ISO14443 part 1, 2, 3 and 4 type B.

MIFARE cards comply with ISO14443 part 1, 2 and 3 type A.

E-passports comply with ISO 14443.

All RFID credit cards that have been publically evaluated use ISO 14443 type B (Source from {Link without Title} ).
