Personal identity verification (PIV) card

A physical artifact (e.g., identity card, “smart” card) issued to an individual that contains a PIV Card application that stores identity credentials (e.g., photograph, cryptographic keys, digitized fingerprint representation) so that the claimed identity of the cardholder can be verified against the stored credentials.
