  1. HSPD-12 and FIPS-201Overviewv1.4

  2. Learning Objectives At the end of this course, you will be able to: • Describe Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12) and its purpose • Describe the Personal Identification Verification (PIV) subsystem • Describe the different types of PIV standards • Describe the PIV Roles and Issuance Process

  3. FIPS-201 PIV Overview • Why a FIPS-201 Compliant Personal Identification Verification (PIV) system? • What is HSPD-12? • What is FIPS-201? • What is PIV-I and PIV-II? FIPS – Federal Information Processing Standard

  4. HSPD-12 and FIPS-201 Overview • On August 27, 2004, President Bush signed Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors. Based upon this directive, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) developed Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS Pub) 201including a description of the minimum requirements for a Federal personal identification verification (PIV) system. HSPD-12 directs the implementation of a new standardized badging process, which is designed to enhance security, reduce identity fraud, and protect the personal privacy of those issued government identification.

  5. PIV-I and PIV-II • PIV standard consists of two parts – PIV-I: PIV-I satisfies the control objectives and security requirements of HSPD-12 PIV-II: PIV-II specifies implementation and use of identity credentials on integrated circuit cards (Smart Cards) for use in a Federal personal identity verification system.

  6. What is Personal Identification Verification (PIV) • The PIV process provides a commonly accepted identification card and reliable form of secure identification for all Federal employees that: • Is issued based on sound criteria for verifying an individual’s identity • Is strongly resistant to identity fraud, tampering, counterfeiting and terrorist exploitation • Is only issued by providers whose reliability has been established • A PIV card will allow entrance to all VA facilities

  7. PIV Roles • FIPS 201 requires a separation of roles (jobs) during the PIV issuance process. • An employee cannot perform more than one role (except for Facility PIV Card Applicant Representative and Facility Privacy Official) • Prior to start of the PIV-I process at a facility, employees or contractors must be appointed and certified for each role • Facility PIV Card Issuance (PCI) Manager • Official who manages the PIV issuance process at a facility • Ensures all services specified in FIPS 201 are provided reliably and PIV cards are produced and issued in accordance with requirements. (One primary and one alternate per facility.) • PIV Sponsor • Official who sponsors the Applicant for a PIV card or Temporary Identity Badge • Is in the best position to know if Applicant requires a PIV Card. (One or more per facility. Facilities may have separate PIV sponsors for employees, contractors, and volunteers/affiliates.) • PIV Registrar • Official who performs Applicant identity proofing and enrollment functions. (One or more per facility. Most likely assigned to Human Resources or Security and Law Enforcement.) • PIV Issuer • Official who issues the PIV card or Temporary Identity Badge to the Applicant. (One or more per facility. Most likely assigned to Human Resources or Security and Law Enforcement.) • Facility PIV Card Applicant Representative • Official who represents the interests of PIV Applicants during the PIV card issuance process. (At least one per facility.) • Facility Privacy Official • Official who oversees privacy issues at the facility. (At least one per facility.)

  8. PIV-I and PIV II • VA will implement the PIV card in a two phased approach. • In Phase I (PIV-I), a new process will be used for issuing current facility badges. • Starts at VACO on Dec 12, 2006 • Other VA sites will start PIV-I throughout Jan-Oct 2006 • In Phase II (PIV-II), the PIV Card Issuing (PCI) office will issue a new identity card that will be used for both physical access to VACO buildings and logical access to VA computer systems. • Phase II in Oct 2006.
