  2. First….Some Definitions • PIV – • Personal Identity Verification Card • Issued to most Executive Branch Federal Employees • Including key contractors • CAC – • Common Access Card • Issued to DOD’s employees in uniform and civilian capacities • Including key contractors • Smart card-based technology • Dual interface chip • Logical and physical access Federal Agency Personal Identity Verification Card (PIV) DoD Common Access Card (CAC)

  3. Identity Management Platforms • HSPD-12 mandates secure credentials for all federal agencies (FIPS-201, PIV credential) • State and local governments and first responders adopting interoperable credentials (PIV-I, FRAC, PIV-C) • Commercial industry using compatible platform DoD Common Access Card (CAC) Federal Agency Personal Identity Verification Card (PIV) First Responder Authentication Credential (FRAC) PIV – I (Interoperable)

  4. Convergence Opportunity • Common technology platform • Contactless smart cards • ISO 14443 standards • Flexible account-based architecture • Security demands • Mutually beneficial opportunities Contactless Transit Fare Cards Contactless Payment Cards; Credit, Debit or Pre-paid Personal Identity Verification Cards
