B Annex - Application Management
A subset of GlobalPlatform Card Specification 2.3.1 [GPCS] is implemented by the simulator to support application management.
More precisely, the Simulator is implementing the subset defined in the “GlobalPlatform Common Implementation Configuration 2.1”. This includes the loading of CAP files, creating and deleting of applet instances, and deleting of packages. The following section describes the GPCS features that the simulator implements.
Refer to the following publications, for more information about GlobalPlaform specifications:
- GlobalPlatform Card Specification v2.3.1, 2018, https://globalplatform.org
- GlobaPlatform Secure Channel Protocol ‘03’ – Amendment D v1.2 https://globalplatform.org

Before you can run the Simulator with the GP functionality, ensure that the initial ISD keys and the Global PIN are configured correctly using the Configurator tool. Refer to the Installation section for additional information and instructions.
The Issuer Identification Number (IIN) and Card Image Number (CIN) are set to default values but can be configured through the command line when launching the Simulator. For instructions, refer to the Java Card Development Kit Simulator Command Line section.
