This key MAY be generated on the PIV Card or imported to the card. If present, the cryptographic operations that use the key management 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 key management key SHALL NOT be available through the contactless interface of the PIV Card. Private key operations MAY be performed using an activated PIV Card without explicit user action (e.g., the PIN need not be supplied for each operation).

The PIV Card SHALL store a corresponding X.509 certificate to support validation of the public key. Section 5 of this document specifies the certificate format and the key management infrastructure for key management keys.
