Authentication mechanisms using the Card Authentication key are illustrated in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 . Figure 4 illustrates the use of the mandatory asymmetric Card Authentication key, while Fig. 5 uses the deprecated, optional symmetric Card Authentication key for the authentication mechanism. Note that the symmetric card authentication key has been deprecated in FIPS 201- 3 and MAY be removed in a future version of the standard.
