ISO/IEC 14443 Identification cards -- Contactless integrated circuit cards -- Proximity cards is an international standard that defines proximity cards used for identification, and the transmission protocols for communicating with it. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Standard

The standard is developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1 (Joint Technical Committee 1) / SC 17 (Subcommittee 17) / WG 8 (Working Group 8).

Parts

• ISO/IEC 14443-1:2018 Part 1: Physical characteristic ^[1]
• ISO/IEC 14443-2:2020 Part 2: Radio frequency power and signal interface ^[2]
• ISO/IEC 14443-3:2018 Part 3: Initialization and anticollision ^[3]
• ISO/IEC 14443-4:2018 Part 4: Transmission protocol ^[4]

Types

Cards may be Type A and Type B, both of which communicate via radio at 13.56  MHz ( RFID HF). 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 transmission protocol (described in Part 4). The transmission protocol specifies data block exchange and related mechanisms:

1. data block chaining
2. waiting time extension
3. multi-activation

ISO/IEC 14443 uses following terms for components:

• PCD: proximity coupling device (the card reader)
• PICC: proximity integrated circuit card

Physical size

Part 1 of the standard specifies that the card shall be compliant with ISO/IEC 7810 or ISO/IEC 15457-1, or "an object of any other dimension". ^[1]

Notable implementations

• Ventra cards used in bus and trains
• MIFARE cards (partial or full implementation, depending on product)
• Biometric passports
• EMV payment cards ( PayPass, Visa payWave, ExpressPay)
• National identity cards in the European Economic Area
• Near Field Communication is based on in part, and is compatible with, ISO/IEC 14443
• Calypso, open security standard for transit fare collection systems
• CIPURSE, open security standard for transit fare collection systems
• Nabaztag:tag uses z:tamp and nano:ztag ISO/IEC 14443 Type B.
