SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 823 V1.2.2, a European Telecommunications Standard for Universal Personal Telecommunication (UPT) phase 2. It specifies the functional interface between a UPT Integrated Circuit Card (ICC) and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) terminals, with the card-to-terminal procedures needed for authentication and service use.
What does SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 specifies the PIM2 side of the UPT card interface for operation with PSTN, ISDN and GSM terminals. It is a delta document that works together with ETS 300 477 and adds or modifies the parts needed for UPT phase 2.
The standard covers the interface, the card’s related internal organization for the operational phase, and the conformance information needed to check implementations. It focuses on interface behavior, not on administrative management or the internal technical design beyond what affects that interface.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Plug-in UPT card |
| Annex B | Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) for the PIM2 |
| Annex C | Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) for the CAD |
The main clauses run from scope and references through definitions, physical characteristics, signals and protocols, logical model, security services, functions, commands, file contents and application protocol. That structure makes it easier to use the document both for design work and for conformance checking.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003?
SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 keeps the base interface model from ETS 300 477 and then applies PIM2-specific changes. In practice, that means implementers start from the shared UPT card/CAD framework and then add the security, file and protocol behavior defined here.
Physical and electrical interface
Clauses 4 and 5 follow ETS 300 477 for the physical characteristics and electronic signals and transmission protocol. Annexes B and C then turn those topics into conformance items for card and terminal implementations.
For a designer or buyer, this means the card and terminal must match the expected card form factor, contacts, operating behavior and transmission method. The conformance annexes are the place to check whether a proposed product supports the required physical and electrical options.
Logical model and card structure
Clause 6 keeps the logical model from ETS 300 477 but changes the application naming to UPT2 and notes that PIM1 and PIM2 can both be implemented on one card, each as its own application. That matters because a shared card needs separate application handling instead of treating the two modules as one.
Clause 10 defines the contents of the elementary files (EFs) used by the application. The document identifies mandatory and optional files such as CHV1, DIR, CT, PUI and TV, and it also covers optional identity, language and telephony-related files used by the UPT application.
Security services and authentication
Clause 7 is the center of the PIM2-specific behavior. It points the security architecture to ETS 300 790 and requires a distinct authentication key if PIM1 and PIM2 are implemented on the same card.
Card Holder Verification (CHV) is part of the security model, and the relevant CHV1 for the PIM2 cannot be disabled. The standard also requires a previous successful CHV before INTERNAL AUTHENTICATION can be used, which means the user must first prove possession of the card holder secret before the card authenticates itself to the network.
The two-pass strong authentication procedure is the main security exchange. The card holder verification is completed first, the CAD starts a timer, and the CAD and network exchange identity data and a random challenge (RAND). The PIM2 then computes an Authentication Code (AC) and returns it through the CAD. In practice, this tells implementers when the card may authenticate and what data must pass between card, terminal and network.
Clause 7 also identifies the secret data stored in the PIM: the PUI, LPIN, SLPIN and K. Those items matter for provisioning, personalization and security administration because they are the values that bind a card to a subscriber and to its authentication behavior.
Commands and application protocol
Clause 9 lists the command set used by the interface, including SELECT, READ BINARY, UPDATE BINARY, VERIFY CHV, CHANGE CHV, UNBLOCK CHV, INTERNAL AUTHENTICATION and GET RESPONSE. Clause 11 then turns those commands into application procedures such as PIM2 initialization, session handling, CHV verification, timer handling and two-pass strong authentication.
The standard also includes telecommunication procedures and general information procedures. For a terminal maker, this is important because the card is not just a storage token - it is expected to support a defined service flow, including file selection, reading service data and handling authentication in the correct order.
What terms does SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 define?
- UPT - Universal Personal Telecommunication, the service framework addressed by the standard.
- PIM2 - the Personal Identification Module defined by this document for UPT phase 2.
- CAD - Card Accepting Device, the terminal side that reads the card and runs the interface procedures.
- CHV - Card Holder Verification, the user verification step that must succeed before certain secure actions.
- AE - Authenticating Entity, the network-side entity involved in authentication exchanges.
- RAND - the random challenge sent by the network for authentication.
- ICS - Implementation Conformance Statement, the checklist used to declare what a product supports.
Who uses SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003?
SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 is used by card manufacturers, terminal manufacturers and integrators working on UPT phase 2 equipment for PSTN, ISDN and GSM environments. It is also used by test laboratories and suppliers completing the ICS proformas in Annexes B and C.
In practice, these readers use the standard to design card behavior, implement terminal interfaces, check command support, and document conformance. Quality teams and buyers can use it to compare whether a card or terminal supports the same PIM2 features, security steps and file structures.
What changed in SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 is the second edition of ETS 300 823 and updates the earlier 1997 edition. The standard’s own scope identifies the main changes as PIM2-specific modifications to the logical model, security, functions, commands, elementary files, application protocol and ICS proformas.
The document introduces two-pass strong authentication, uses the PIM2 naming in the updated areas, and aligns security references with ETS 300 790. It also adds guidance for shared cards that contain both PIM1 and PIM2, including separate authentication keys and separate CHVs.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003?
- ETS 300 477 - the base UPT card/CAD interface document that this standard modifies for PIM2.
- ETS 300 790 - the UPT phase 2 security architecture referenced for authentication procedures and security data elements.
- ITU-T Recommendation E.164 - the international numbering plan used where telephone numbers and dialing information are stored.
- ISO/IEC 7816-1, ISO/IEC 7816-2 and ISO/IEC 7816-3 - used in the conformance annexes for card dimensions, contacts and transmission protocol behavior.
- ISO 7811-1 and ISO 7811-3 - used for the layout and embossing-related card format options in the conformance tables.
- ENV 1375-1 - used for plug-in card layout in the conformance material.
What does the SIST EN 300 823 V1.2.2:2003 document contain?
The document contains the core specification clauses plus three normative annexes. Annex B and Annex C provide ICS proformas with requirement-by-requirement tables for PIM2 and CAD implementations, so suppliers can declare supported features in a structured way.
The tables cover physical characteristics, contacts, electronic signals, ATR and PTS behavior, logical model rules, security features, command coding and application protocol support. Figure 1 illustrates the two-pass strong authentication sequence between the CAD and the card, which is useful when implementing or testing the secure answer flow.
For testing and certification work, the annexes are especially important because they turn the specification into checkable items with mandatory, optional and conditional statuses. That makes the document practical for conformance assessment as well as for implementation design.

7.2.2 Strong authentication
The two pass strong authentication process works as follows:
1) a successful card holder verification is performed;
2) a timer is started in the CAD . If a time-out occurs the PIM shall be RESET by the CAD . No further
UPT UPT
authentication attempts can be made until a new card holder verification has been performed;
3) the authentication procedure is activated by the user (if the time-out has not been reached), whereby the
following steps take place;
4) the PUI and the CT are obtained from the PIM and are sent to the Authenticating Entity (AE) in an authentication
request;
5) the AE sends a random number RAND to the CAD in an authentication request;
UPT
6) the RAND is given to the PIM, which calculates an Authentication Code (AC) and returns it to the CAD ;
