The international standard ISO/IEC 24727 [ISO24727] enables a high degree of interoperability between electronic credentials and relying subsystems by means of an adaptation layer. To make interoperability among PIV System middleware, card readers, and credentials more resilient and flexible, the Department of Commerce will evaluate ISO/IEC 24727 and propose an optional profile of ISO/IEC 24727 in [SP 800- 73]. The profile will explain how profile-conformant middleware, card readers, and PIV Cards can be used interchangeably with middleware, card readers, and PIV Cards currently deployed.

Specifications of the profile will become effective, as an optional means to implement PIV System readers and middleware, when OMB determines that the profile specifications are complete and ready for deployment.
