ISO/IEC 24727 (''Identification cards – Integrated circuit card programming interfaces'') is the first
international standard to address the need for creation of a layered framework to support
interoperability
Interoperability is a characteristic of a product or system to work with other products or systems. While the term was initially defined for information technology or systems engineering services to allow for information exchange, a broader defi ...

authentication
Authentication (from ''authentikos'', "real, genuine", from αὐθέντης ''authentes'', "author") is the act of proving an assertion, such as the identity of a computer system user. In contrast with identification, the act of indicatin ...

The standard is split into six parts:
* ISO/IEC 24727-1:2014 ''Part 1: Architecture''
* ISO/IEC 24727-2:2008 ''Part 2: Generic card interface''
* ISO/IEC 24727-3:2008 ''Part 3: Application interface''
* ISO/IEC 24727-4:2008 ''Part 4: Application programming interface (API) administration''
* ISO/IEC 24727-5:2011 ''Part 5: Testing procedures''
* ISO/IEC 24727-6:2010 ''Part 6: Registration authority procedures for the authentication protocols for interoperability''
