ETSI TS 102 705 describes the UICC Application Programming Interface for Java Card&trademark; for contactless Applications. Its purpose is to provide access for a contactless Applet to the services provided by the HCI protocol defined in [4] for the communication via the CLF. In the scope of the present document contactless means support for the RF Technologies referenced by the HCI specification [4]. Low level functionality to manage gates and pipes as defined in the HCI specification [4] is not in the scope of the present document. Registration of contactless parameters and management of contactless Applets in card emulation mode is defined in "GlobalPlatform Card Specification Amendment C" [8]. Related APIs are provided in "Java Card API and Export File for Card Specification v2.2.1 (org.globalplatform) v1.5" [12] and "Java Card Contactless API and Export File for Card Specification v2.2.1 (org.globalplatform.contactless)" [13].
