HSPD-12 mandated the issuance of electronic identity credentials to Federal employees and contractors. OMB Memorandum M-05-24 clarified the eligibility requirements for PIV Cards to temporary Federal employees and contractors, by requiring PIV Card issuance to all Federal employees and contractors who require access to Federal facilities or information systems for more than six months. [M-05-24] Agencies are permitted to issue non-PIV Cards to individuals with access of less than six months. Ineligible personnel (i.e., visitors who are neither Federal employees nor contractors), temporary personnel requiring access for less than six months, eligible personnel who, as a matter of agency policy, are not issued PIV Cards, and PIV cardholders who have forgotten their cards comprise the people who could receive temporary badges. Temporary badges will thus be necessary (although in smaller numbers than before) for the indefinite future. An agency or facility should consider the relationship of temporary badges to PIV Cards and their PACS system(s) when selecting temporary badge products. Factors to consider during the procurement process include:
+ The OMB M-05-24 requirement that temporary badges be visually and electronically distinguishable from PIV Cards. [M-05-24]
+ Capabilities and costs of enrollment stations, which will likely be local to the facility for best turnaround time.
+ The interoperability of temporary badges with HSPD-12 readers and authentication mechanisms (especially CHUID and CAK for physical access).
+ The assignment of FASC-N unique identifiers to temporary badges, to foster interoperability with HSPD-12 readers.
+ The suitability of contactless-only temporary badges for physical access.
+ The performance, cost, and security tradeoffs between disposable and reusable temporary badges.
+ The importance of VIS authentication mechanisms with temporary badges. Many approaches to temporary badges are possible. A two-tier approach could become commonplace. A paper-based tier would provide disposable paper badges, with or without printed ID photos. A smart-card tier would issue a reusable card with greater functionality, possibly using PIV Card stock, with capability for physical access, interoperability with HSPD-12 readers and use cases, for periods of weeks to six months.
