The federal government is continuing to upgrade both logical and physical access control systems to exclusively use PIV/PIV-I cards or the CAC for routine access.  FIPS 201-2 instructs government entities to issue PIV cards to employees and contractors requiring six months or longer access.  What about those needing either physical or logical access, or both, for a few weeks or months?

And what about organizations like Oak Ridge National Labs operated by University of Tennessee -Battelle, which are subject to Department of Energy HSDP-12/FICAM requirements for only a portion of its population? Legacy cards cannot interoperate with PIV enabled infrastructure. But issuing PIV or PIV-i cards to everyone else is prohibitively expensive when only local physical and logical access is needed.

A non-federated Commercial Identify Verification (CIV) card, which is electrically PIV-I compatible and therefore technically compatible with a FIPS 201-2 infrastructure, fills this gap, at a fraction of the cost.

Please join us for an extremely informative session to explore the pros and cons of issuing and using CIV cards within government entities to compliment the growing use of PIV, PIV-I cards as well as the CAC in the DoD.
