Smart Card Alliance Identity Council and Access Control Council Release PIV-I Case Studies, Educational Resources on Secure Identity Credentials
(firmenpresse) - PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 02/28/12 -- The Smart Card Alliance Identity Council and Access Control Council today released two new resources for individuals and organizations looking for more education on Personal Identity Verification (PIV), PIV-Interoperable (PIV-I), and Commercial Identity Verification (CIV) credentials. The white paper, "," and the brief, "" are available for free download on the website.
A variety of organizations, including large corporations, consulting firms, and state and local governments, are all beginning to deploy PIV-I solutions. The white paper, "" is one of the first efforts to document and share information about these PIV-I deployments. The white paper profiles PIV-I projects for the following organizations: Booz Allen Hamilton; SAIC; XTec Incorporated; and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The case studies outline:
How and why each organizations chose to establish an identity program using the PIV-I credential
Best practices and lessons learned for deployment
Realized benefits of each PIV-I credentialing project
"An increasing number of commercial, off-the-shelf physical, logical, and mobile enterprise applications support PIV and PIV-I authentication methods, so it is easier and more cost-effective than ever for organizations to deploy a PIV-I solution," said Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance. "Because these PIV-I case studies are the first enterprise deployments outside of first responder use cases, we thought it was critically important to document their progress in this white paper for other organizations to use as a resource."
For more general education on , PIV-I and CIV credentials, the Smart Card Alliance has created the brief, "." Presented as a table, the brief compares the policies, processes and technical features of the three types of credentials. It shows how the policy and process around PIV and PIV-I enable the interoperability and trust of the credential, while the CIV credential definition was developed to define a commercial credential that could take advantage of the PIV infrastructure.
Next month, the Smart Card Alliance will provide further education on secure identity credentialing at the ISC West conference in Las Vegas. The Smart Card Alliance Educational Institute will host the workshop, "Standards-Based Secure Identity Credentials: Leveraging the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Specifications for Commercial Credentialing Programs," on March 27th from 8:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. in Sands Room 104. Registration is available on the workshop webpage at .
