The final public draft details the expanded set of derived PIV credentials in a variety of form factors and authenticator types, as envisioned in OMB Memoranda M-19-17 and M-22-09 and subsequently outlined in FIPS 201-3 . The cross-domain and interagency use of these credentials is provided by federation protocols outlined in the final public draft of SP 800-217 , Guidelines for PIV Federation . Both documents are closely aligned with the recently published second public draft of SP 800-63-4 , Digital Identity Guidelines . NIST hopes that this final draft document enables a close alignment with new and emerging digital authentication and federation technologies employed in the Federal Government while maintaining a strong security posture.

Abstract This recommendation provides technical guidelines for the implementation of standards-based, secure, reliable credentials that are issued by federal departments and agencies to individuals who possess and prove control of their valid PIV Card. These credentials can be either public key infrastructure (PKI)-based like the PIV Card or non PKI-based but verified by the individual’s home agency. The scope of this document includes requirements for the initial issuance and maintenance of these credentials, certificate policies as applicable, cryptographic specifications, technical specifications for permitted authenticator types, and the command interfaces for removable implementations of such PKI-based credentials. This recommendation provides technical guidelines for the implementation of standards-based, secure, reliable credentials that are issued by federal departments and agencies to individuals who possess and prove control of their valid PIV Card.
