Note: Validation of SP 800-73-2 based PIV Middleware has been superseded by SP 800-73-3 based PIV Middleware validation.
Validated SP 800-73-2 based PIV Middleware products remain valid and can interoperate with all validated PIV Card Application products (both SP 800-73-2 & SP 800-73-3 based). However they will not be able to exercise the optional features introduced for SP 800-73-3 based PIV Card Applications/PIV Middleware.
The additional mandatory features implemented in SP 800-73-3 based PIV Middleware are:
Recognize and process the optional Key History Object of SP 800-73-3 based PIV card,
Recognize and process retired Key Management Key Certificates,
Recognize and process the optional iris image Object of SP 800-73-3 based PIV card
Thus, a SP 800-73-3 based PIV Middleware provides full interoperability capability – to exercise all optional features of PIV Card Applications products (both SP 800-73-3 & SP 800-73-3 based).
The following SP 800-73-3 PIV Middleware Validation list is maintained in ascending numerical order by certificate numbers and is updated as new PIV Middleware receive validation certificates from the NPIVP.
All questions regarding the implementation and/or use of any PIV Middleware included in the validation list should first be directed to the vendor.
