A non-backward compatible change is a change or modification to an existing feature such that the modified feature cannot be used with existing relying systems. For example, changing the format of the biometric data would not be compatible with the existing system, because a biometric authentication attempt with the modified format would fail. Similarly, changing the PIV Card Application IDentifier (AID) would introduce a non-backward compatible change. As a result, all systems interacting with the PIV Card would need to be changed to accept the new PIV AID.
