| Title: |
Usability of PIV Smartcards for Logical Access |
| Published: |

| Abstract: |
This paper presents the findings of a PIV usability pilot study conducted at NIST during the summer of 2010. The study focused on factors that affected users' perceptions and adoption of PIV smartcards. Based on observation of the study participants, the researchers present recommendations that can be used to improve the usability of PIV smartcard implementations at NIST and elsewhere - particularly within the Federal government, where HSPD-12 mandates smartcard use. |
