How do I use my RID?

Each application provider is assigned one RID. The application provider uses the PIX to identify its different applications or products.

It is not mandatory to register RIDs. The only requirement is that the AID must start with an 'F' indicating that it is a proprietary, non-registered RID. However, since there is no guarantee that such a proprietary, non-registered RID is unique, it is strongly recommended that the use of such RIDs is limited to closed user-groups, under conditions where there will be no risk of conflict with other applications.
