On Card Cryptographic Requirements

Control

FIPS 201-2 identifies a suite of objects that are stored on the PIV Card for use in authentication mechanisms or in other security protocols. These objects may be divided into three classes: cryptographic keys, signed authentication information stored on the PIV Card, and message digests of information stored on the PIV Card. Cryptographic requirements for PIV keys are detailed in Section 3.1 . Cryptographic requirements for other stored objects are detailed in Section 3.2 .
