We classify chiral symmetric periodically driven quantum systems on a one-dimensional lattice. The driving process is local, can be continuous, or discrete in time, and we assume a gap condition for the corresponding Floquet operator. The analysis is in terms of the unitary operator at a half-period, the half-step operator. We give a complete classification of the connected classes of half-step operators in terms of five integer indices. On the basis of these indices, it can be decided whether the half-step operator can be obtained from a continuous Hamiltonian driving, or not. The half-step operator determines two Floquet operators, obtained by starting the driving at zero or at half-period, respectively. These are called timeframes and are chiral symmetric quantum walks. Conversely, we show under which conditions two chiral symmetric walks determine a common half-step operator. Moreover, we clarify the connection between the classification of half-step operators and the corresponding quantum walks. Within this theory, we prove bulk-edge correspondence and show that a second timeframe allows to distinguish between symmetry protected edge states at +1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$+\,1$$\end{document} and -1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$-\,1$$\end{document} which is not possible for a single timeframe.
