# Announcing a Tutorial Workshop on ISO/IEC 24727—Identification Cards—Integrated Circuit Card Programming Interfaces
**AGENCY:**
National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce.
**ACTION:**
Notice of public workshop.
**SUMMARY:**
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will hold a public workshop on December 1-3, 2009, at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Board Room/Conference Center. The workshop is open to the public but registration is required. The registration fee will be $90.00. The purpose of the 3-day workshop is to provide a high-level tutorial of the six part standard, ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces* , a multi-part standard for interoperable identification, authentication, and signature services for credentials and applications. The workshop will also provide sessions on the use of ISO/IEC 24727 to include an overview of NIST IR 7611, *Use of ISO/IEC 24727—Service Access Layer Interface for Identity (SALII): Support for Development and use of Interoperable Identity Credentials* , which describes ISO/IEC 24727 from the perspective of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201— *Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors* .
**DATES:**
The meeting will be held on December 1-3, 2009.
**ADDRESS:**
The three day workshop will be held at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Board Room/Conference Center, located at 429 L'Enfant Plaza, SW., Washington, DC 20024.

**Abstract**
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, in conjunction with national and international standards bodies, is an active participant in the development of the multi-part international standard entitled, ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces* . The standard consists of six parts:
ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces—Part 1: Architecture*
ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces—Part 2: Generic card interface*
ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces—Part 3: Application interface*
ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces—Part 4: API Administration*
ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces—Part 5: Testing*
ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces—Part 6: Registration authority procedures for the authentication protocols for interoperability*
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will hold a tutorial on December 1-3, 2009, at the NTSB Board Room/Conference Center. The tutorial is open to the public but requires registration. The goal of the 3-day workshop is to provide a high-level tutorial of the six part standard, ISO/IEC 24727— *Identification cards—Integrated circuit card programming interfaces* , a multi-part standard for interoperable identification, authentication, and signature services for credentials and applications.
This workshop is open to the public but all attendees must pre-register in advance. There is a registration fee of $90.00.
