C. Physical security features of the smart card U.K.

The threats to the physical security of documents are:

• Production of false cards: creating a new object which bears great resemblance to the document, either by making it from scratch or by copying an original document.

• Material alteration: changing a property of an original document, e.g. modifying some of the data printed on the document.

The material used for Part I of the Registration Certificate shall be made secure against forgery by using at least three of the following techniques:

• microprinting,

• guilloche printing*,

• iridescent printing,

• laser engraving,

• ultraviolet fluorescent ink,

• inks with viewing angle — dependent colour*,

• inks with temperature — dependent colour*,

• custom holograms*,

• variable laser images,

• optical variable images.

Member States are free to introduce additional security features.

As a basis, the techniques indicated with an asterisk are to be preferred as they enable the law enforcement officers to check the validity of the card without any special means.

III.2. Data storage and protection U.K.

Preceded by the harmonised common codes (where appropriate, in connection with the individual codes of the Member States according to Chapter II.7), the following data shall or may be additionally stored on the card surface bearing the legible information as per Chapter III.1:

(A)

Data as per Chapters II.4 and II.5

All data specified in Chapters II.4 and II.5 shall be mandatorily stored on the card.

(B)

Other data as per Chapter II.6

Moreover, the Member States are free to store more data as per Chapter II.6, to the necessary extent.

(C)

Other data as per Chapter II.7

Optionally, additional information may be stored on the card.

The data from the letters A and B is stored in two corresponding files with transparent structure (see ISO/IEC 7816-4). The Member States may specify the storage of data from Letter C according to their requirements.

There are no read restrictions on these files.

Write access to these files shall be restricted to the national competent authorities (and their authorised agencies) in the Member State issuing the smart card.

Write access is permitted only after an asymmetric authentication with session key exchange for protecting the session between the vehicle registration card and a security module (e.g. a security module card) of the national competent authorities (or their authorised agencies). Thereby card verifiable certificates according to ISO/IEC 7816-8 are exchanged before the authentication process. The card verifiable certificates contain the corresponding public keys to be retrieved and to be used in the following authentication process. These certificates are signed by the national competent authorities and contain an authorisation object (certificate holder authorisation) according to ISO/IEC 7816-9 in order to encode role specific authorisation to the card. This role authorisation is related to the national competent authority (e.g. to update a data field).

The corresponding public keys of the national competent authority are stored as trust anchor (root public key) in the card.

The specification of the files and commands needed for the authentication process and the writing process is under the responsibility of the Member States. The security assurance has to be approved by common criteria evaluation according to EAL4+. The augmentations are as follows: 1. AVA_MSU.3 Analysis and testing for insecure states; 2. AVA_VLA.4 Highly resistant.

(D)

Verification data for authenticity of registration data

The issuing authority calculates its electronic signature about the complete data of a file containing the data of the letter A or B and stores it in a related file. These signatures allow the authenticity of the stored data to be verified. The cards shall store the following data:

• electronic signature of registration data related to letter A,

• electronic signature of registration data related to letter B,

For verification of these electronic signatures the card shall store:

• certificates of the issuing authority calculating the signatures about the data of letters A, B.

Electronic signatures and the certificates shall be readable without restriction. Write access to electronic signatures and certificates shall be restricted to the national competent authorities.

III.3. Interface U.K.

III.12. Reading the registration data U.K.

A. Application selection U.K.

The application ‘ Vehicle Registration ’ shall be selectable by a SELECT DF (by name, see ISO/IEC 7816-4) with its application identifier (AID). The AID value is requested from a laboratory selected by the European Commission.

B. Reading data from files U.K.

The files corresponding to Chapter II, Letters A, B and D, shall be selectable by SELECT (see ISO/IEC 7816-4) with the command parameters P1 set to ‘ 02 ’ , P2 set to ‘ 04 ’ and the command data field containing the file identifier (see Chapter X, Table 1). The returned FCP template contains the file size which can be useful for reading these files.

These files shall be readable with READ BINARY (see ISO/IEC 7816-4) with an absent command data field and L _e set to the length of the expected data, using a short L _e .

C. Verification of data authenticity U.K.

To verify the authenticity of the stored registration data, the corresponding electronic signature may be verified. This means that besides the registration data also the corresponding electronic signature may be read from the registration card.

The public key for signature verification can be retrieved by reading the corresponding issuing authority certificate from the registration card. Certificates contain the public key and the identity of the corresponding authority. The signature verification may be performed by another system than the registration card.

The Member States are free to retrieve the public keys and certificates for verifying the issuing authority certificate.

III.13. Special provisions U.K.

Irrespective of the other provisions herein, the Member States, after notifying the European Commission, may add colours, marks or symbols. In addition, for certain data of Chapter III.2 Letter C, the Member States may allow XML format and may allow access via TCP/IP.

Member States may, with the agreement of the European Commission, add other applications for which no harmonised rules or documents exist yet at EU level (e.g. roadworthiness certificate), on the vehicle registration card to realise additional vehicle related services.]
