Summary

Sponsorship and Authorization

The enrollment process begins with obtaining authorization from an approved sponsor or supervisor. This step is crucial for initiating the PIV enrollment process and ensuring that only eligible individuals proceed.

In-Person Identity Verification

Applicants must appear at an authorized enrollment center for identity verification. During this step, an official verifies the applicant's identity against government-issued IDs and supporting documents to ensure authenticity.

Document Authentication

Enrollment officials authenticate the provided documents through various methods, including visual inspection and electronic validation tools, ensuring the legitimacy of the applicant's credentials.

Biometric Data Capture

The Unifyia platform allows capturing biometric data, such as fingerprints, iris, and facial images, to establish a unique and verifiable identity. This biometric information is securely stored and linked to the applicant's identity record, ensuring long-term security and accuracy.

Applicant Information Entry

Once identity verification and biometric capture are complete, the applicant's verified personal information and biometric data are entered into the PIV enrollment system.

Background Check

A background check may be conducted to ensure that the applicant meets the necessary security standards. This check can include criminal history, employment verification, and other relevant criteria.

Applicant Review and Consent

The final step in the enrollment process involves the applicant reviewing their collected information and providing consent for PIV issuance. This step ensures the applicant is aware of their responsibilities and agrees to the terms of use.

PIV Issuance

Identity Issuance

The Unifyia Platform streamlines the issuance of PIV credentials, using group and device-specific workflows to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Credentials are issued based on the successful completion of the enrollment process and compliance with FIPS 201-3 standards.

Supported Authenticators

Our platform supports a wide range of authenticators, including PIV, FIDO2.1 smart cards, security keys, and mobile app-based authenticators through the Unifyia ID Wallet. This flexibility allows organizations to choose the most suitable authentication methods for their needs.

PIV Derived Credentials

The platform leverages the status of existing PIV credentials to issue Derived PIV (DPIV) or Derived FIDO (DFIDO) credentials, enabling seamless integration for trusted partners and additional use cases.

Certificate Renewal and Management

The platform provides tools for renewing certificates and managing the entire lifecycle of PIV credentials. This includes actions such as certificate suspension, activation, reactivation, and revocation, ensuring credentials remain secure and up to date.

PIN Management and Security

Users can manage their PINs directly through the platform, with options to reset or change their PINs securely. The platform also supports the use of PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) for enhanced security.

Incident Reporting and Credential Management

The platform allows users and administrators to report incidents, such as lost or compromised credentials, and take necessary actions, including revoking or reissuing credentials to maintain security.
