In this publication, the term interoperability means the ability to use any PIV Card with any PACS application performing one or more PIV authentication mechanisms. The data objects and keys placed on a PIV Card during issuance use specific cryptographic algorithms selected from the acceptable algorithms in [SP800-78]. A PACS application can interrogate the card to learn which algorithms are used. To attain full interoperability, a relying PACS application will need to support all acceptable algorithms, key lengths, and key material that could be presented, either by a PIV Card or by the PIV infrastructure. The interoperability goal of the PIV-enabled PACS can be stated:
