NIST SP 800-157 December 2014 This recommendation provides technical guidelines for the implementation of standards-based, secure, reliable, interoperable public key infrastructure (PKI) based identity credentials that are issued by Federal departments and agencies to individuals who possess and prove control over a valid PIV Card.

Why buy an eBook when you can download a PDF for free? First you gotta find it and make sure it’s the latest version, not always easy. It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com Unlike a PDF, this eBook allows easy page navigation because we bookmarked the Chapters and Appendices. (Don’t judge based on the free sample because that functionality is not activated on the free sample.) Once you buy a copy you will see how easy it is to get to the information you seek - fast. Also, if you turn on Text-to-Speech, your kindle will read the book out loud for you! This material is published by 4th Watch Publishing Co.
