Issuance of a derived PIV credential is an instance of the post-enrollment binding of an authenticator described in [SP 800-63B] and SHALL be performed in accordance with the requirements that apply to physical authenticators as well as the requirements in this section.

The binding and issuance of derived PIV credentials SHALL use valid PIV Cards to establish cardholder identity in accordance with [SP 800-157]. Derived PIV credentials SHALL meet the requirements for Authenticator Assurance Level (AAL) 2 or 3 specified in [SP 800-63B]. All derived PIV credentials meeting AAL2 but not AAL3 requirements SHALL allow authentication at AAL2 only. Derived PIV credentials meeting AAL3 requirements also fulfill the requirements of AAL2 and can be used in circumstances requiring AAL2. The issuer SHALL attempt to promptly notify the cardholder of the binding of a derived PIV credential through an independent means that would not afford an attacker an opportunity to erase the notification. More than one independent notification method MAY be used to ensure prompt receipt by the cardholder.

Derived PIV credentials SHALL be bound to the cardholder’s PIV identity account only by the issuing department or agency responsible for managing that PIV identity account. If the issuing department or agency relies on shared services for portions of the PIV Card or Derived PIV credential issuance process, it is the responsibility of the issuing department or agency to ensure that all credentials and IDMS records are properly maintained throughout the PIV lifecycle.
