Executive Summary
The Federal Government relies on public key infrastructure (PKI) to meet strict information security guidelines. The two tokens in use across the government are the civilian Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and the Common Access Card (CAC), smart card standards in line with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD 12) and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 201-3 specifications.
While PIV and CAC meet the needs for traditional perimeter-based and desktop federal authen-tication requirements, the modernization of IT and related devices and the growth of remote work have created cases where PIV and CAC aren’t the most suitable forms of authentication.
