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 PIV-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.
