Validation List for SP 800-73-1 PIV Middleware

Note:  Validation of SP 800-73-1 based PIV Middleware has been superseded by SP 800-73-2 based PIV Middleware validation (see Announcement 6/23/2009).

Validated SP 800-73-1 based PIV Middleware products remain valid and can interoperate with all validated PIV Card Application products (both SP 800-73-1 & SP 800-73-2 based). However, they will not be able to exercise the optional features introduced for SP 800-73-2 based PIV Card Applications/PIV Middleware.

The additional mandatory features implemented in SP 800-73-2 based PIV Middleware are:

• Recognize and process the optional Discovery Object of SP 800-73-2 based PIV card

• Perform Verification using Global PIN

• Query the PIVMiddleware version function

Thus, a SP 800-73-2 based PIV Middleware provides full interoperability capability – to exercise all optional features of  PIV Card Applications products (both SP 800-73-1 & SP 800-73-2 based). More information can be found at Revision History and Recommendations on PIV Middleware Version Management.
