As of January 1, 2009, PIV card applications implementing the PIV Digital Signature Key (DSK) and/or the PIV Key Management Key (KMK) are required to support cryptographic keys that provide a minimum of 112 bits of security strength. The public key pair (corresponding to the X.509 certificate in gray font) provides only 80 bit security strength and does not comply with the cryptographic timelines established in SP 800-78-1, Table 3-1. The public key pair and corresponding certificate are no longer valid and is therefore out of the scope of the validation.
