ACOS2 & ACOS3 (ACS Card Operating System) Specifications
ACS develops smart card operating systems (COS)
as its intellectual property. ACOS2, developed by the ACS dedicated
team of specialists, unlocks the potential of a smart card. It
enables a single card to support various applications such as
loyalty program, parking registration, network access control,
public transportation, phone card, and electronic purse.

ACOS5 (ACS Crypto Card) Specifications
ACOS5 is an advanced cryptographic smart card that fully complies
with ISO 7816-1/2/3/4/8/9 and is specially designed for public-key
based applications. It is specially designed for enhancing security
and performance for RSA public-key cryptographic operations that are
essential in smart card PKI, digital signature and high level
security requirements.

PKCS#11 Cryptographic Token Interface Standard
This standard specifies an API, called Cryptoki, to devices which
hold cryptographic information and perform cryptographic functions.
Cryptoki, pronounced crypto-key and short for cryptographic token
interface, follows a simple object-based approach, addressing the
goals of technology independence (any kind of device) and resource
sharing (multiple applications accessing multiple devices),
presenting to applications a common, logical view of the device
called a cryptographic token.

Interface Standard
PC/SC Contact Card & Reader Specifications
The PC/SC Specification builds upon existing industry smart card
standards - ISO 7816 and EMV - and complements them by defining
low-level device interfaces and device-independent application APIs
as well as resource management, to allow multiple applications to
share smart card devices attached to a system. As with V1.0, the
Specifications 2.0 are completely platform independent, and can be
implemented on any operating system. ACS Readers are
fully compatible with the new version 2.0 spec of the PC/SC

Mifare Contactless Specifications
MIFARE is the most widely installed contactless smart card
technology in the world. With more than 250 million smart card ICs
and 1.5 million reader components sold, MIFARE has been selected as
the most successful contactless smart card technology. In addition,
MIFARE is the perfect solution for applications like loyalty and
vending cards, road tolling, city cards, access control and gaming.
The International Standards Organization (ISO) has standardized
the technologies used in contactless smart cards. The relevant
standards are ISO14443 (proximity cards) and ISO15693 (vicinity
cards). MIFARE® complies with ISO14443 A, which is used in more than
80% of all contactless smart cards today. Together, all other
contactless proximity smart card technologies have less than 20%
market share.
ISO 14443 is divided in 4 parts defining different aspects of the
interface:
- ISO/IEC 14443-1:2000 Part 1: Physical characteristics
- ISO/IEC 14443-2:2001 Part 2: Radio frequency power and
signal interface
- ISO/IEC 14443-3:2001 Part 3: Initialization and
anti-collision
- ISO/IEC 14443-4:2001 Part 4: Transmission protocol
