Abstract

A CAC/PIV certificate associated with a HSPD-12 identity is used to generate a derived credential for storage on a device, such as a mobile device, that lacks a CAC/PIV card reader. The derived credential (which is distinct from the original CAC/PIV certificate) may then be used to grant the device access to secure resources that may otherwise require a CAC/PIV certificate. Embodiments of the present disclosure also relate to systems and methods for authenticating or validating a derived credential stored on a mobile device.
