Talk:Smart card application protocol data unit

cheef.ru server fault?
There appears an issue with the cheef.ru server, which hosts all current refs for this page. Possibly a temporary issue, but I wanted to note it today and if not corrected we should remove them and hopefully replace with other references. Jocularjosh (talk) 16:53, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's 2010-10-10, and the links seem to be working. Guy Harris (talk) 19:16, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

APDUs that have nothing to do with smartcards
The term APDU also exists in several other protocols. I think it is a more general term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.91.83.251 (talk) 15:31, 21 January 2010 (UTC)


 * You are entirely correct. In the OSI reference model, an APDU would just be a protocol data unit for an arbitrary application layer protocol, whether the protocol has anything to do with smartcards or not. Guy Harris (talk) 19:15, 10 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Perhaps this article should be renamed "Smartcard application protocol data unit" or similar? Mitch Ames (talk) 12:15, 11 October 2010 (UTC)


 * That would make sense. Guy Harris (talk) 06:57, 12 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Moved. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:13, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Outdated references?
The content of http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_ics/catalogue_detail_ics.htm?csnumber=36134 states at that standard has been withdrawn. The superceding standard is found at http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_ics/catalogue_detail_ics.htm?csnumber=54550. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.89.58.131 (talk) 14:22, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The ISO standards are revised almost every year. The revision mentioned above was superseded already. I recommend linking to the original version because many devices support that version. Moreover, it's good to know when this standard was introduced. Finding out the latest version is easy. So, I don't think we should spend time updating the link every so often.
