[Gllug] On the topic (kinda) of bank cards...

[Russell Howe]

I stumbled across ISO 8583

It's not really a description of the communications that take place when
you use your card, but rather the encoding and protocol that's used to
transmit them.

Still, I found it interesting to read about.

There's a wikipedia page for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8583
