Title
Example Binding of a Non-PKI-Based Derived PIV Credential at AAL3
Control
An employee requires a derived PIV credential to access a relying party using one or more endpoints that do not accommodate the direct use of a PIV Card. The employee requests a non-PKI-based authenticator capable of authentication at AAL3 and approval to use that authenticator as a derived PIV credential. The agency’s approval authority approves the request.
After receiving the approval and authenticator, the employee starts the binding process by authenticating with their PIV Card using PKI-AUTH at a derived PIV credential website operated by or on behalf of the employee’s home agency IdMS. The website requires TLS client authentication with the PKI-AUTH authentication method using the employee’s PIV Card. Having authenticated the employee, the server verifies eligibility to possess a PIV Card. The employee then inserts (connects) the authenticator to be used as a derived PIV credential and registers (binds) that credential, including establishing a second authentication factor (activation secret or biometric characteristic) if that has not already been done. The website determines whether the authenticator meets AAL3 requirements. Upon successful registration, the home agency’s endpoint stores the subscriber’s key and appropriate metadata for non-PKI-based PIV authentication. The PIV Card issuer enters information about the new derived PIV credential into the subscriber’s PIV identity account. The employee is notified of the binding of the new derived PIV credential by email or postal notification to their address in the PIV identity account.
