PKI BLADE Applet and Protiva PIV DL Card
U.S. Department of State - FIPS 140 #1573
The PKI/BLADE applet is based on ISO 7816 and GSC-IS commands interface. The applet is designed to be loaded on any Java card compliant with JavaCard v2.2.1 and Global Platform v2.1.1 specifications including PIV certified Java cards. It is designed to provide services for PKI based logical access applications and to provide strong two factor authentication using passwords and fingerprints biometrics.
