Title
It generates the appropriate commands (also called Application Protocol Data
Control
Units or APDUs) for the PIV Card Command Interface (card edge interface - Part 2 of SP 800-73-3) and thus communicates with the PIV Card Application.
The PIV Card Application resides on the card, implements the commands in the PIV Card Command Interface (Part 2 of SP 800-73-3), and provides access to objects of the PIV Data Model. The PIV Data model defines the logical use of the on-Card Application space including the SP 800-73-3 Part 1 required data objects and data elements, along with the size and structure of each object.
