1 Scope
This European Standard specifies Transport and Security Services for communication systems for meters.
This European Standard specifies secure communication capabilities by design and supports the building of a secure system architecture.
This European standard is applicable to the protection of consumer data to ensure privacy.
This draft European Standard is intended to be used with the lower layer specifications determined in EN 13757-2, EN 13757-3, EN 13757-4, EN 13757-5 and EN 13757-6.

5.2 The CI-field principle
All layers between the DLL and the APL are introduced by a CI-field (control information field). These CI-fields declares the structure of the following layers. The layers ELL and NWL do not provide a dedicated length information. Therefore the structure of these layers has to be derived from the CI-field. Refer to EN 13757-4 or EN 13757-5 for specification of the length of the corresponding layers and the start position of the next layer. The AFL has a variable structure. It declares the length of this layer by a dedicated length field. The Transport Layer and the Application Layer uses a shared CI-field. For that reason, a Transport Layer shall be present whenever the Application Layer is used in a message. The shortest Transport Layer (no header) consists of this CI-field only. The CI-field of the Transport Layer declares the used application protocol (like M-Bus Data, DLMS-Data or Alarm protocol), the origin of message (Command of Master or Slave- Response) and the fixed header structure of the TPL header. Behind this CI-field, no other CI-field follows. The length of the APL is given by the message length reduced by the length of the other existing layers.
