In an effort to increase the quality and security of federal ID and credentialing practices, the President issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) in August 2004, requiring the establishment of a governmentwide standard for secure and reliable forms of ID. The resulting standard is referred to as the personal identity verification (PIV) card. GAO was asked to determine the progress selected agencies have made in (1) implementing the capabilities of the PIV cards to enhance security and (2) achieving interoperability with other agencies. To address these objectives, GAO selected eight agencies that have a range of experience in implementing smart card-based ID systems and analyzed what actions the agencies have taken to implement PIV cards. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-292/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-292.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-292/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-292.pdf GAO-08-292 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-292 Other Written Product GAO-08-292; Electronic Government: Additional OMB Leadership Needed to Optimize Use of New Federal Employee Identification Cards; Contractors Facility security Federal employees Government employees Government facilities Homeland security Identification cards Identity verification Information systems Personal identification numbers Safety regulation Safety standards Security assessments Security investigations Security regulations Security threats Strategic planning
