VERIFY Card Command

Control changed

Before · SP 800-73-4

The VERIFY card command initiates the comparison in the card of the reference data indicated by the key reference with authentication data in the data field of the command.

Key reference '80' specific to the PIV Card Application (i.e., local key references) and, optionally, the Global PIN with key reference '00', the OCC data (key references '96' and '97'), and pairing code (key reference '98') are the only key references that may be verified by the PIV Card Application’s VERIFY command. The PIV Card Application may allow other key references to be verified by the PIV Card Application’s VERIFY command, if they are used for card management operations.

Key reference '80' shall be able to be verified by the PIV Card Application VERIFY command. If the PIV Card Application does not contain the Discovery Object as described in Part 1, then no other key reference shall be able to be verified by the PIV Card Application VERIFY command. If the PIV Card Application contains the Discovery Object, then the ability of the PIV Card Application’s VERIFY command to verify key references '00', '96', '97', and '98' shall be as specified by the first byte of the Discovery Object’s PIN Usage Policy value:

• If Bit 6 is one, then key reference '00' shall be able to be verified by the PIV Card Application VERIFY command.

• If Bit 5 is one, then key references '96' and/or '97', as specified in the Biometric Information Templates Group Template, shall be able to be verified by the PIV Card Application VERIFY command.

• If Bit 4 is one, then key reference '98' shall be able to be verified by the PIV Card Application VERIFY command.

If any key reference value is specified that cannot be verified by the PIV Card Application, then the PIV Card Application shall return the status word '6A 88'.

The VERIFY command may be submitted over the contact interface and, under some conditions, over the contactless interface. The card command shall fail if:

• the key reference is '00' or '80' and the command is not submitted over either the contact interface or the VCI, or

• the key reference is '96', '97', or '98' and the command is submitted over the contactless interface without secure messaging. The P1 parameter shall be either '00' or 'FF'. If any other value is specified for the P1 parameter, then the PIV Card Application shall return the status word '6A 86'.

If the VERIFY command fails for one of the reasons specified above, then the security status and the retry counter of the key reference shall remain unchanged.

If P1='00', and L c and the command data field are absent, the command can be used to retrieve the number of further retries allowed ('63 CX'), or to check whether verification is not needed ('90 00').

If P1='00', and L c and the command data field are present, then the authentication data in the command data field shall be compared against the reference data associated with the key reference, as specified in the following subsections. However, if the key reference is '00', '80', '96', or '97' and the current value of the retry counter associated with the key reference is zero, then the PIV Card Application shall return the status word '69 83'. 6 In order to protect against blocking over the contactless interface, PIV Card Applications that implement secure messaging shall define an issuer-specified intermediate retry value for each of these key references and return '69 83' if the command is submitted over the contactless interface (over secure messaging or the VCI, as required for the key reference) and the current value of the retry counter associated with the key reference is at or below the issuer-specified intermediate retry value. If status word '69 83' is returned, then the comparison shall not be made, and the security status and the retry counter of the key reference shall remain unchanged.

If P1='FF', and L c and the command data field are absent, the command shall reset the security status of the key reference in P2. The security status of the key reference specified in P2 shall be set to FALSE and the retry counter associated with the key reference shall remain unchanged.
