CSA ISO/IEC 18056:14 (R2024)

CSA Preface

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 18056 throughout.

This Standard supersedes CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 18056:12 (adoption of ISO/IEC 18056:2010). At the time of publication, ISO/IEC 18056:14 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA Group will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC.

This International Standard was reviewed by the TCIT under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Information Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. From time to time, ISO/IEC may publish addenda, corrigenda, etc. The TCIT will review these documents for approval and publication. For a listing, refer to the Current Standards Activities page at standardsactivities.csagroup.org. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope

This International Standard specifies an XML protocol for the services defined in ISO/IEC 18051. It provides an alternative protocol to the ASN.1 based protocol specified in ISO/IEC 18052.

In addition to the CSTA-specific protocol details, this International Standard describes the concepts underlying the request/response model, application association, notation and service, and describes the template used in this International Standard.

It also specifies the PICS for this International Standard and provides examples of CSTA XML encodings.
