This section provides a discussion of PIV authentication mechanisms and their application in PACS environments. PIV authentication mechanisms offer a range of security measures (of different throughputs) that can be applied in a PACS environment. This section first describes a measurement scale for security relevant to PACS environments. Then it discusses security offerings of each PIV authentication mechanism and their combinatory effects on identity authentication. Finally, this section provides recommendations on the use of PIV authentication mechanisms in a PACS environment.
