Personal Identity Verification Interoperability for Non-Federal Issuers
Issued By: CIO Council - Effective Date: 05.05.2009, 276.152K, pdf
Abstract: As the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) initiative progresses, it is garnering a great deal of interest from parties external to the Federal government. These non-federal organizations want to issue identity cards that are (a) technically interoperable with Federal government PIV systems, and (b) issued in a manner that allows Federal government relying parties to trust the cards. Furthermore, such interoperability and trust may be driven by operational imperatives of great interest to the Federal government (e.g. First Responder Authentication Card (FRAC)). However, the PIV card standard, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 201, is limited in scope to the Federal government and has several requirements that can be addressed only by the Federal government community. Therefore, some guidance is needed to assist non-federal issuers of identity cards in achieving interoperability with Federal government PIV systems. This document provides that guidance.
