2.3.1 PIV Middleware Test Configuration

NIST PIV and digital identity SP 800-85A-4 against SP 800-85A-2
All changes in this version

Title

PIV Middleware Test Configuration

Control changed

Before · SP 800-85A-2

The middleware test configuration is used to test a vendor’s middleware software application that implements the PIV client API and generates the appropriate commands in the PIV card command interface (refer to Table A-1 for mapping between the client API and card command interface). The middleware test configuration is depicted in Figure 3.

Vendor provided PIV Middleware, which is the subject of this test (also called as Implementation Under Test or IUT) and

One of the following combinations:

Contact and contactless smart card readers or a dual interface reader together with

A PIN input mechanism together with

A dual interface FIPS 201 conformant PIV Card loaded with “SP 800-73-3 Part 2 conformant PIV Card Application” (for definition refer to section 7.2)

OR

A PIV card emulator that emulates the behavior of a PIV Card Application

A printer for reporting and documenting the test results

The test toolkit application software resides on the Test Computer, and facilitates the execution and management of both test suites explained in Section 3. For the PIV Middleware Test, the test system (Figure 2) will be configured so that the vendor provided PIV Middleware under test is also installed on the Test Computer and interacts with the FIPS 201 conformant test cards via the card reader(s).
