NIST IR 8055
DRAFT Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials (DPC) Proof of Concept Research
NIST announces the public comment release of Interagency Report (IR)
8055, Derived Personal Identity Verification
(PIV) Credentials (DPC) Proof of Concept Research. This report
documents proof of concept research performed by NIST to determine how
DPCs could be used to PIV-enable mobile devices and provide multi-factor
authentication for an organization's mobile device users. This report
captures DPC requirements, proposes an architecture that supports these
requirements, and describe how this architecture could be implemented
and operated.

Abstract This report documents proof of concept research for Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials. Smart card-based PIV Cards cannot be readily used with most mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, but Derived PIV Credentials (DPCs) can be used instead to PIV96 enable these devices and provide multi-factor authentication for mobile device users. This report captures existing requirements related to DPCs, proposes an architecture that supports these requirements, and then demonstrates how such an architecture could be implemented and operated. |
