Before · SP 800-73-4

SP 800-73-4 specifies the PIV data model, application programming interface (API), and card interface requirements necessary to comply with the use cases, as defined in Section 6 of FIPS 201 and further described in Appendix B of SP 800-73-4 Part 1. Interoperability is defined as the use of PIV identity credentials such that client-application programs, compliant card applications, and compliant ICCs can be used interchangeably by all information processing systems across Federal agencies. SP 800-73-4 defines the PIV data elements’ identifiers, structure, and format. SP 800-73-4 also describes the client application programming interface and card command interface for use with the PIV Card.

This part, SP 800-73-4 Part 2 – PIV Card Application Card Command Interface, contains the technical specifications of the PIV Card command interface to the PIV Card. The specification defines the set of commands surfaced by the PIV Card Application at the card edge of the ICC.
