Title

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS must accept Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials.

Control

Verify the "opensc-pcks11" package is installed on the system with the following command: $ dpkg -l | grep opensc-pkcs11 ii opensc-pkcs11:amd64 0.25.0~rc1-1build2 amd64 Smart card utilities with support for PKCS#15 compatible cards If the "opensc-pcks11" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Discussion

The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. DoW has mandated the use of the common access card (CAC) to support identity management and personal authentication for systems covered under Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, as well as making the CAC a primary component of layered protection for national security systems.
