	Of those, we care about <code>DCS</code> (family name), <code>DCT</code> (given names), <code>DBA</code> (birthdate), <code>DBC</code> (sex), and <code>DAK</code> (ZIP code). Depending on the version of the standard your particular card is following, you may get the holder's first name in either <code>DAC</code> (first name) or <code>DCT</code> (given names). You'll have to check for both and, in the case of the latter, strip off middle names as necessary. The sex field (<code>DBC</code>) is encoded as a number, 1 for male and 2 for female.

Since only the relevant fields are extracted and everything else is discarded client-side we neatly side-step most of the privacy concerns inherent in scanning IDs.
