Digital Signature Key

After · FIPS 201-3

The PIV digital signature key SHALL be generated on the PIV Card. The PIV Card SHALL NOT permit exportation of the digital signature key. If this key is present, cryptographic operations that use the digital signature key SHALL be available through the contact interface and MAY additionally be available over the virtual contact interface of the PIV Card. Operations that use the digital signature key SHALL NOT be available through the contactless interface of the PIV Card. Private key operations SHALL NOT be performed without explicit user action, as this Standard requires the cardholder to authenticate to the PIV Card each time it performs a private key computation with the digital signature key. 30

The PIV Card SHALL store a corresponding X.509 certificate to support validation of the public key. The expiration date of the certificate SHALL be no later than the expiration date of the PIV Card. Section 5 of this document specifies the certificate format and the key management infrastructure for PIV digital signature keys.
