3.5. Contactless communication principles and SDI011 usage recommendations

SDI011 is a dual interface reader capable of reading both contact smart cards and contactless user tokens. The following paragraph focuses on a few specifics of the contactless communication to outline usage recommendations in order to ensure best user experience.
SDI011 is a contactless reader1 designed to communicate with user tokens.
User tokens2 are made of a contactless integrated circuit card connected to an antenna
User tokens can take several form factors:
Credit card sized smart card Key fob NFC mobile phone etc…
Communication between SDI011 and user tokens uses magnetic field inductive coupling.
The magnetic field generated by SDI011 has a carrier frequency of 13.56MHz.
3.5.1. Power supply
When the user token is put in the magnetic field of the reader, its antenna couples with the reader and an induction current appears in the antenna thus providing power to the integrated circuit. The generated current is proportional to the magnetic flux going through the antenna of the user token.
3.5.2. Data exchange
The carrier frequency of the magnetic field is used as a fundamental clock signal for the communication between the reader and the card. It is also used as a fundamental clock input for the integrated circuit microprocessor to function.
To send data to the user token the reader modulates the amplitude of the field. There are several amplitude modulation and data encoding rules defined in ISO/IEC 14443. The reader should refer to the standard for further details.
To answer to the reader, the integrated circuit card of the user token modulates its way of loading (impedance) the field generated by the reader. Here also further details can be found in ISO/IEC 14443.
1
In the ISO/IEC 14443 standard, the reader is called the proximity coupling device (PCD)
2
In the ISO/IEC 14443 standard, the user token is called proximity integrated chip card (PICC)
SDI011 REFERENCE MANUAL 18
It is recommended for proper communication to avoid putting SDI011 in close proximity of conductive materials.
It is recommended to present only one user credential at a time in front of SDI011.
It may happen that SDI011 is not capable of communicating with extremely large or extremely small antennas.
In order to optimize the coupling between the reader and the user token, it is recommended to put both antennas as parallel as possible
In order to optimize transaction speed between the reader and the card it is recommended to place the user token as close as possible to the reader. This will increase the amount of energy supplied to the user credential which will then be able to use its microprocessor at higher speeds
3.5.3. Recommendations
The communication between the reader and the user token is sensitive to the presence of material or objects interfering with the magnetic field generated by the reader.
The presence of conductive materials like metal in the vicinity of the reader and the user token can severely degrade the communication and even make it impossible. The magnetic field of
the reader generates Eddy or Foucault‘s currents in the conductive materials; the field is
literally absorbed by that kind of material.
The presence of multiple user tokens in the field also interferes with the communication. When several user tokens are in the field of the reader, load of the field increases which implies that less energy is available for each of them and that the system is detuned. For this reason, SCM Microsystems has implemented in its driver only 1 slot by default. This means that in the event several user tokens are in the field of the SDI011, only one will be active. It is possible using INF configuration to enable up to 4 slots – i.e. to activate up to 4 user tokens nevertheless depending on the power consumption of the user tokens communication cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that multiple contactless slots feature is supported but is kept disabled by default.
The SDI011 driver on configuration allows the presence and use of several PICCs (maximum 4) at the same time. The driver can support multiple logical connections and present each of them as a slot logical device to the Resource Manager and higher components. Also the simultaneous working of multiple Contactless cards is not guaranteed and depends on the antenna size and the power requirements of the card.
The communication between the reader and the user token is sensitive to the geometry of the system {reader, user token}. Parameters like the geometry and specially the relative size of the reader and user token antennas directly influence the inductive coupling and therefore the communication.
SDI011 was primarily designed and optimized to function with user credentials of various technologies having the size of a credit card.

3.6. Applications

3.6.1. General
SDI011 is a transparent reader designed to interface a personal computer host supporting PC/SC interface with 13.56MHz user tokens like public transport cards, contactless banking cards, electronic identification documents – e.g. e-passports, e-ID cards, driving licenses etc.
Those user tokens can have several form factors like credit cards, key fobs, NFC mobile phones or USB dongles like SCT3511 that SCM Microsystems markets.
SDI011 itself handles the communication protocol but not the application related to the token. The application-specific logic has to be implemented by software developers on the host.
3.6.2. Applications provided by SCM Microsystems
SCM Microsystems does not provide payment or transport applications. SCM Microsystems provides a few applications for development and evaluation purposes that
can function with SDI011. There are many tools provided; here are two of them:
The NFC forum tag reader/writer is a standalone application that enables the user to
read and write NFC forum compliant records into NFC forum compatible tags. It is an easy to use tool to configure rapidly NFC forum tag demonstrations. Note: SDI011 supports NFC forum tag type 2 and 4, only.
Smart card commander version 1.1 provides NFC forum record parsing functionality
of NDEF records in XML format as well as scripting functionality which can be very useful for developers to develop and debug their applications. This tool can be used for both the contact and the contactless interfaces of SDI011.

4. SDI011 characteristics

4.1. SDI011 high level architecture

4.1.1. Block diagram
The link between SDI011 and the host to which it is connected is the USB interface providing both the power and the communication channel.
SDI011 has a device controller which is SCM‘s STCII ASIC. This ASIC has several interfaces available. In SDI011 implementation 3 peripherals are connected to the device controller:
LED for reader status indication A contact smart card interface An RF front-end that handles the RF communication
The ASIC embeds flash memory. The flash is programmed during the manufacturing of SDI011 devices. This flash contains the firmware developed by SCM Microsystems to handle all the ISO7816 contact protocol, the RF communication protocols and the PC/SC communication protocol with the host. The flash can be upgraded once the device is deployed in the field, hence enabling firmware upgrades to add and potentially patch features.
The RF front-end ensures the coding/decoding/framing modulation/demodulation required for the RF communication. It is controlled by the device controller through registers.
The matching circuitry provides the transmission and receiver paths adaptation for the antenna to function properly.
SDI011 REFERENCE MANUAL 21
4.1.2. Software architecture
Applications can interface with the driver directly through the PC/SC interface.
The SDI011 driver implements PC/SC v2.0 API towards upper layers and uses SCM firmware commands encapsulated in CCID-like protocol for the contactless slot and full CCID for the contact slot.
The SDI011 contactless driver handles all the contactless-related intelligence – i.e. ISO/IEC 14443 and the SDI011 firmware handles the raw transport of data to and from the contactless cards.

A combi card is a smart card which has both a contact and a contactless interface. Some of those cards have one controller with two interfaces. Data can be accessed through the contact or the contactless interface. For those when the contact interface is powered up the contactless interface is disabled. There are nevertheless in the market combi cards with 1 contact chip and 1 contactless chip. Those cards can be seen at the same time as a contact and a contactless card when inserted in the contact interface of SDI011.

The ATR of the user token is composed as described in the table below. In order to allow the
application to identify the storage card properly, it‘s Standard and Card name describing bytes
must be interpreted according to the Part 3 Supplemental Document, maintained by PC/SC. Tokens using technology like MIFARE are examples of such user tokens.

5.4. Firmware

5.4.1. CCID transport protocol
SDI011 implements a transport protocol that is compliant with USB Device Class: Smart Card CCID Specification for Integrated Circuit(s) Cards Interface Devices Revision 1.10 for the
contact smart card interface and CCID-like transport protocol for the contactless interface. This paragraph describes the CCID specification features that are implemented and those that
are not implemented.
5.4.1.1. CCID class requests supported
Abort
5.4.1.2. CCID messages supported
The following CCID messages are supported both for the contact and the contactless interfaces when received through bulk-out endpoint.
PC_to_RDR_IccPowerOn PC_to_RDR_IccPowerOff PC_to_RDR_GetSlotStatus PC_to_RDR_XfrBlock PC_to_RDR_GetParameters PC_to_RDR_SetParameters PC_to_RDR_Escape PC_to_RDR_Abort PC_to_RDR_NotifySlotChange
The following CCID messages are NOT implemented and hence fail with command not supported error:
PC_to_RDR_ResetParameters PC_to_RDR_IccClock PC_to_RDR_T0APDU PC_to_RDR_Secure PC_to_RDR_Mechanical PC_to_RDR_SetDataRateAndClockFrequency
5.4.1.3. CCID Error Codes
Extensive error codes are reported on many conditions during all CCID responses. Most of the error messages are reported by the CCID appropriately. Some of the main error codes for the contact interface are:
HW_ERROR XFR_PARITY_ERROR
SDI011 REFERENCE MANUAL 31
BAD_ATR_TS BAD_ATR_TCK ICC_MUTE
The following sub-sections discuss when and why these error codes are returned:
5.4.1.3.1. HW_ERROR
This error code is returned when a hardware short circuit condition is detected, during application of power to the card or if any other internal hardware error is detected. This error code has been defined in the error code table 6.2-2 of the CCID specification.
5.4.1.3.2. XFR_PARITY_ERROR
This error code is returned when a parity error condition is detected. This error will be reported in the response to a PC_to_RDR_XfrBlock message. This error code has been defined in the error code table 6.2-2 of the CCID specification.
5.4.1.3.3. ICC_MUTE
This error code is returned when the card does not respond until the reader time out occurs. This error will be reported in the response to PC_to_RDR_XfrBlock message and PC_to_RDR_IccPowerOn messages. This error code has been defined in the error code table
6.2-2 of the CCID specification.
5.4.2. Automatic PPS for the contactless interface
Automatic PPS is implemented in SDI011‘s driver. This means that by default SDI011 switches to the maximum communication speed indicated by the card during its selection. Automatic PPS can be disabled using escape messages as explained later in this manual.
When Auto PPS is disabled (discussed in escape messages section) the reader works at the default baud rate of 106kbps. An escape command has been introduced in the driver to force the required baud rate.
The maximum speed supported by SDI011 is 424Kbps by default. Using escape messages as explained later in this manual it is possible to change this.

6.5.2. Escape command codes
Escape commands can be used by an application to configure SDI011 to function in a mode that is not its default configured mode or to get specific information. To put the SDI011 back into its default mode, either the SDI011 has to be unplugged and plugged again or the application can send again the same escape command.
The following escape commands are supported by SDI011 for the contactless interface.

The output buffer contents are described below.
The Baud rate of card-reader communication 0xNN shall indicate a BYTE as follows
b1 – 212kbps supported (direction reader to card) b2 – 424kbps supported (direction reader to card) b3 – 848kbps supported (direction reader to card) b5 – 212kbps supported (direction card to reader) b6 – 424kbps supported (direction card to reader) b7 – 848kbps supported (direction card to reader) b8 – 1 – indicates same baud rate in both directions
0 – indicates different baud rates in opposite directions
For Example: If 0xNN = 0x77, the card supports all baud rates namely 106, 212, 424 and 848 kbps in both
directions. This card can be forced to work at different baud rates in the send and receive directions using the escape command READER_CNTLESS_FORCE_BAUDRATE_PCSC_REV2.
If 0xNN = 0xB3, the card supports 106, 212 and 424 kbps in both directions. This card can be made to work only at the same baud rate in the send and receive directions using the escape command READER_CNTLESS_FORCE_BAUDRATE_PCSC_REV2.

7.3. Annex C - SCM Proprietary CLA bytes

The second SCM Proprietary APDU is blocked for the application layer. This is used for internal communication i.e. between the driver and the firmware.
In order to maintain compatibility with some customer applications which use the CLA bytes of PC/SC 1.0 architecture, the following switching mechanism can be used.
Option1: Use the CLA byte of PC/SC1.0 architecture Option2: Use the CLA byte of PC/SC2.0 architecture
The above two options can be controlled by
Configuring the firmware  INF/registry entry  Vendor IOCTL.
By default, option #2 is set in the firmware binary.
The entry System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SCM\ProprietaryAPDUOption is kept disabled in the INF by default. Enabling this key and setting this entry to 0 will override the firmware setting with option #1. Enabling this key and setting this entry to 1 will override the firmware setting with option #2.
Vendor IOCTL_SWITCH_PROPRIETARY_APDU_OPTION (0x856) can also be used to switch between the two options. Input buffer with value 0x00 will switch to option#1 and input buffer with value 0x01 will switch to option#2.
