Collis Card Spy

The Collis Card Spy allows issuers and acquirers to spy the communication and measurement of the performance between a smart card (EMV card) and an EMV Terminal - both ATM and POS terminals. Primarily, it assists in learning and pinpointing interoperability-related issues and/or contactless problems that may arise, and troubleshoots communication issues.


In addition, Collis Card Spy monitors the communication between electronic passports, NFC mobiles, tokens, e-purses, etc. that are compliant with the ISO 14443 standard for contactless communication.

 

The Collis Card Spy provides an automatic interpretation of smart card commands and responses, showing the application protocol bytes that are being exchanged, including:

  • ISO 7816 for T=0 and T=1 protocol
  • ISO 14443 for either type A or type B card protocol
  • Clockchanges 
  • Supply voltage events
  • Time stamp feature allows for accurate time measurements on the byte level


The spy tool contains the following modules: 

  • Payment analyses ISO 7816-3, ISO 7816-4 and EMV, MasterCard PayPass and Visa payWave  (e.g. e-purse, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, etc.)
  • eID analyses ISO 7816-3, ISO 7816-4, ISO 14443 and ICAO (which governs the ePassport applications)  (e.g. driving license, healthcare card, etc.)
  • Transit analyses ISO 7816-3, ISO 14443 and MIFARE DESFIRE  (e.g. SAM, e-Ticketing card, etc.)
