Defines cryptographic information application on smart cards, used as basis for PKCS#15.

  
  
ISO/IEC 7816-15 defines the cryptographic information application that describes the keys, certificates, and PKI objects stored on a smart card in a vendor-neutral way. It lets middleware discover a card's credentials without knowing the proprietary layout of each issuer. The format served as the technical basis for PKCS#15, aligning card-resident cryptographic metadata across the industry.
