FIPS 201-2 defines requirements for the PIV lifecycle activities including identity proofing, registration, PIV Card issuance, and PIV Card usage. FIPS 201-2 also defines the structure of an identity credential that includes cryptographic keys. This document contains the technical specifications needed for the mandatory and optional cryptographic keys specified in FIPS 201-2 as well as the supporting infrastructure specified in FIPS 201-2 and the related NIST Special Publication 800-73-4, Interfaces for Personal Identity Verification [SP800-73] , and SP 800-76-2, Biometric Specifications for Personal Identity Verification [SP800-76] , that rely on cryptographic functions.
