The latest smart card specification for U.S. government employees was released by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Federal agencies will have 12-months to issue cards that comply with the revised standard.
As expected, FIPS 201-2 will enable derived PIV credentials on mobile devices as well as a virtual contact interface that expands the functionality of the contactless portion of the card, says Hildegard Ferraiolo, a computer scientist in the Computer Security Division, Cryptographic Technology Group at NIST.
The derived credential specification will be detailed in a special publication due out soon, Ferraiolo says. At a high level the derived credential will enable an agency to place a type of PIV credential on a mobile device so the user can access enterprise application, virtual private networks or other uses.
