NIST PIV and digital identity SP 800-85A-4 against SP 800-85A-2
All changes in this version
modified 2 System Overview part of 2.3

Title

PIV Card Application Test Configuration

Control changed

Before · SP 800-85A-2

The card application test configuration is used to test any PIV Card Application through commands of the PIV card command interface defined in SP 800-73-3 Part 2. The following list shows the test system components included in this configuration: A test toolkit application software

Contact and contactless smart card readers or a dual interface reader

A PIN input mechanism

A PIV Card loaded with PIV Card Application that supports contact and contactless interface and is the subject of this test. (also called Implementation Under Test or IUT)

For the PIV Card Application Test, the test system shown in Figure 2 will be configured such that the test toolkit application software directly interacts with the PIV Card under test via the card reader(s). The PIV Card Application Test configuration is depicted in Figure 4. Test Toolkit Application
