Remarks

An application can send data to the CAT device by setting AdditionalSecurityInformation before issuing an authorization method. Also, data obtained from the CAT device and not stored in any other property as the result of an authorization operation (for example, the account code for a loyalty program) can be provided to an application by storing it in this property. Because the data stored here is device-specific, this should not be used for any development that requires portability.

AdditionalSecurityInformation is typically intialized to NULL. It should then be updated by the service object while the device is enabled.

The format of this data depends on the value of BinaryConversion.
