X9.59 is a financial industry standard for all account-based electronic
retail transactions.
In the AADS strawman chip scenerio for X9.59 ... whether debit, credit,
prepaid, etc. , the chip would sign a X9.59 transaction and work identical
whether it was at person's PC or at point-of-sale (it works the same
whether any ietf internet infrastructure is involved or existing financial
network infrastructure)
Such an AADS strawman chip scenerio for X9.59 would work the same
regardless of internet, no-internet, point-of-sale, debit, credit,
pre-paid, bank, subscriber, isp. (the AADS strawman chip scenerio also
works the same for non-X9.59 AADS scenerios like AADS radius, ISP
authenticated access, webserver authenticated access, VPN authentication
operation, etc).
There are some issues for the AADS strawman chip scnerio for X9.59, like
contact or contactless. Contact would be standard existing chipcard
standard and would be useable in existing chipcard contact readers. The
contactless standards are less well accepted ... but establishing a
contactless accepted standard would free up the AADS strawman chip to
become form-factor agnostic (i.e. an AADS strawman chip could imbedded into
almost any shape and be able to operate).
The AADS chip strawman scenerio for X9.59 not only proposes that it is the
same regardless of whether it is Internet or non-internet, but also whether
it is credit, debit, pre-paid, authenticated access, existing financial
infrastructure, point-of-sale, who the bank is, face-to-face physical, who
the service provider is, as well as what country that it might operate in
