Before · FIPS 201-2

Subsequent revisions of this Standard may necessitate FIPS 201 version management that introduces new version numbers for FIPS 201 products. Components that may be affected by version management include, for example, PIV Cards, PIV middleware software, and card issuance systems.

New version numbers will be assigned in [SP 800-73], if needed, based on the nature of the change. For example, new mandatory features introduced in a revision of this Standard may necessitate a new PIV Card Application version number so that systems can quickly discover the new mandatory features. Optional features, on the other hand, may be discoverable by an on-card discovery mechanism.
