2.3.1 PKI-Based Derived PIV Credential Maintenance
All changes in this version
Title
PKI-Based Derived PIV Credential Maintenance
Control
PKI-based derived PIV credentials require typical maintenance activities applicable to asymmetric cryptographic credentials, including rekeying and modification. These activities MAY be performed either remotely or in person and SHALL be conducted in accordance with the certificate policy under which the derived PIV authentication certificate is issued. When certificate rekeying or modification is performed remotely for a derived PIV credential, communication between the issuer and the cryptographic module in which the derived PIV authentication private key is stored SHALL only occur over mutually authenticated secure sessions between tested and validated cryptographic modules.
Certain maintenance activities for the subscriber’s PIV Card trigger corresponding maintenance activities for the derived PIV credential. PKI-based derived PIV credentials SHALL be reissued if any information about the subscriber that appears in the credential changes. For example, if the subscriber’s PIV Card is reissued as a result of a change in the subscriber’s name and the subscriber’s name appears in the derived PIV authentication certificate, a new derived PIV authentication certificate with the new name SHALL be issued and the previous certificate invalidated. The subscriber then uses their current PIV authentication certificate to authenticate to the issuer, which then updates the certificate in the derived PIV credential module.
