January 24, 2022.
ADDRESSES: FIPS 201–3 is available

FIPS 201
establishes a standard for a Personal
Identity Verification (PIV) system
(Standard) that meets the control and
security objectives of Homeland
Security Presidential Directive-12
(HSPD–12). It is based on secure and
reliable forms of identity credentials
issued by the Federal Government to its
employees and contractors. These
credentials are used by mechanisms that
authenticate individuals who require
access to federally controlled facilities,
information systems, and applications.
This Standard addresses requirements
for initial identity proofing,
infrastructure to support
interoperability of identity credentials,
and accreditation of organizations
issuing PIV credentials.
FIPS 201 was issued on 2005 (70 FR
17975) in response to HSPD–12.
Subsequent revisions included FIPS
201–1, published in 2006 and FIPS 201–
2 (version in effect), published in 2013
(78 FR 54626). In consideration of
technological advancements over the
last five years and specific requests for
changes from United States Government
(USG) stakeholders, NIST determined
that a third revision of FIPS 201 was
warranted. NIST received numerous
change requests, some of which, after
analysis and coordination with the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and USG stakeholders, were
incorporated in a proposed draft of FIPS
201–3. Other change requests
incorporated in the draft resulted from
the 2019 Business Requirements
Meeting held at NIST. The meeting
focused on business requirements of
Federal departments and agencies. On
November 3, 2020, a notice was
published in the Federal Register (85
FR 69599), soliciting public comments
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

on the draft FIPS 201–3. During the
public comment period, a virtual public
workshop was hosted by NIST on
December 9, 2020.
The scope of changes reflected in
FIPS 201–3 include the following:
• Alignment with current NIST
technical guidelines on identity
management, OMB policy guidelines,
and changes in commercially-available
technologies and services.
• Accommodation of additional types
of authenticators through an expanded
definition of Derived PIV credentials.
• Focus on the use of federation to
facilitate interoperability and
interagency trust.
• Addition of supervised remote
identity proofing processes.
• Removal of previously deprecated
Cardholder Unique Identifier (CHUID)
authentication mechanism and
deprecation of the symmetric card
authentication key and visual
authentication mechanisms (VIS).
• Support for secure messaging
authentication mechanism (SM–AUTH).
Comments and questions regarding
the draft were submitted by USG
organizations, private sector
organizations, and private individuals.
NIST made several changes to the draft
FIPS 201–3 based on the public
comments received.
Many commenters asked for
clarification of the text of the Standard
and/or recommended editorial and/or
formatting changes. Other commenters
suggested modifying the requirements
and asked questions concerning the
implementation of the Standard. All of
the suggestions, questions, and
recommendations within the scope of
this FIPS were carefully reviewed, and
changes were made to the Standard,
where appropriate. Some commenters
submitted questions or raised issues that
were related but outside the scope of
this FIPS. Comments that were outside
the scope of this FIPS, but that were
within the scope of one of the related
Special Publications, were deferred for
later consideration in the context of the
revisions to these Special Publications.
The disposition of each comment that
was received has been provided along
with the comments at https://
csrc.nist.gov.
The following is a summary and
analysis of the comments received
during the public comment period, and
NIST’s responses to them:
1. Comment: Some commenters
inquired about the effective date of the
Standard. Commenters also inquired
about the implementation schedule
associated with the changes introduced
in the Standard, once the Standard is in
effect.
