Modern security requires a modern credential.
Personal Identification Verification Interoperable (or PIV-I) cards are a lot more powerful than your typical corporate ID badge.
PIV-I credentials are smart identification cards that can be used as physical access credentials with door and gate readers, as well as logical access credentials to log into secured computer systems with a laptop or desktop smart-card reader. PIV-I cards adhere to strict requirements based on standards that the U.S. government developed for its employees and the military, so they are interoperable (meaning that PIV-I cards can be read and trusted across state, local, and territorial boundaries regardless of who issued them), as well as federally trusted (meaning they can be recognized and relied upon by sensitive federal systems, and at secure federal facilities).
All FTI PIV-I cards come with four certificates, including certificates for both digital signature and encryption. They also include both certificate revocation list (CRL) and online certificate status protocol (OCSP) services for real-time certificate validation.
