ITSO Specification
The current version of the
ITSO Specification
is
v2.1.3
.
The purpose of theSpecification is to provide a platform and tool-box for theimplementation of interoperable contactless smart customer media,public transport ticketing and related services in the UK in amanner which offers end to end loss-less data transmission andsecurity. It has been kept as open as possible within theconstraints of evolving national, European and Internationalstandards in order to maximise competition in the supply of systemsand components to the commercial benefit of the industry as awhole. In general, it promotes open standards but it does notdisallow proprietary solutions where they are offered onreasonable, non-discriminatory terms and contribute towards the ultimate objective of interoperability.
The Specification defines the key technical itemsand interfaces that are required to deliver interoperability. Tothis end, the end-to-end security system and Shell layout aredefined in detail, while other components (e.g. terminals,'back-office' databases) are described only in terms of their interfaces.
