In the context of smart cards, an application protocol data unit (APDU) is the communication unit between a smart card reader and a smart card. The structure of the APDU is defined by ISO/IEC 7816-4 Organization, security and commands for interchange.[1] APDU message command-response pairThere are two categories of APDUs: command APDUs and response APDUs. A command APDU is sent by the reader to the card – it contains a mandatory 4-byte header (CLA, INS, P1, P2) and from 0 to 65 535 bytes of data. A response APDU is sent by the card to the reader – it contains from 0 to 65 536 bytes of data, and 2 mandatory status bytes (SW1, SW2). Command APDU | Field name | Length (bytes) | Description |
---|
CLA | 1 | Instruction class - indicates the type of command, e.g. interindustry or proprietary | INS | 1 | Instruction code - indicates the specific command, e.g. "write data" | P1-P2 | 2 | Instruction parameters for the command, e.g. offset into file at which to write the data | Lc | 0, 1 or 3 | Encodes the number (Nc) of bytes of command data to follow 0 bytes denotes Nc=0
1 byte with a value from 1 to 255 denotes Nc with the same value
3 bytes, the first of which must be 0, denotes Nc in the range 1 to 65 535 (all three bytes may not be zero) | Command data | Nc | Nc bytes of data | Le | 0, 1, 2 or 3 | Encodes the maximum number (Ne) of response bytes expected 0 bytes denotes Ne=0
1 byte in the range 1 to 255 denotes that value of Ne, or 0 denotes Ne=256
2 bytes (if extended Lc was present in the command) in the range 1 to 65 535 denotes Ne of that value, or two zero bytes denotes 65 536
3 bytes (if Lc was not present in the command), the first of which must be 0, denote Ne in the same way as two-byte Le | Response APDU |

Response data | Nr (at most Ne) | Response data | SW1-SW2 (Response trailer) | 2 | Command processing status, e.g. 90 00 (hexadecimal) indicates success |
