CAP File Identification

Each CAP file has an AID and a version. The AID and version values are dependent on the format of the CAP file (compact and extended) as follows:

  • When the CAP file contains a unique package and it is in the compact format, its AID and version are same as the AID and version of the package it contains.

  • When the CAP file contains multiple packages and it is in the extended format, it has its own AID and version, independent of the AIDs and versions of the packages it contains.
