ICAM PROOFCARDS™
FIPS 201 requires you to have Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials. OMB M-11-11 requires you to use them in your logical access control systems (LACS) and your physical access control systems (PACS). The Personal Identity Verification (PIV) in Enterprise Physical Access Control Systems (E-PACS) document that helps support the federal government’s Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) implementation provides requirements for implementing PIV and PIV-Interoperable (PIV-I) in PACS. Rife with technical language, these high-level mandates and guidance can leave you wondering about the following details:
- What does it mean to be PIV or PIV-I enabled?
- How do I test my access control system for conformance with the federal mandates and the associated guidance such as NIST SP-800-116?
- How do I test my system for compatibility with the PIV and PIV-I credentials available on the market?
- How do I know if my system will handle a malicious credential?
- Does my system correctly defend against known threats?
The technical complexity of high-assurance identity credentials has become increasingly daunting. To date, there have been no tools or specific training to help LACS or PACS manufacturers PIV-enable their systems. System owners have little choice but to trust that their vendors have developed deep Public Key Infrastructure expertise and advanced knowledge of the federal trust fabric to create PIV support in their products.
CertiPath, the leader in high-assurance identity management and security solutions, offers ICAM ProofCards that allow you to trust but verify. Whether you are an original equipment manufacturer who wants to simulate the credentialing infrastructure and needs assurance that your system works correctly under any conditions or you are a system owner interested in verifying your installed base, ICAM ProofCards provide both a known good and known bad baseline.
ICAM ProofCards have been specifically created to leverage the testing infrastructure of the GSA Approved Products List (APL). That infrastructure provides the closest possible approximation of the conditions under which a product will be tested at the GSA FICAM APL lab
