Description

Equip your workforce with a converged security credential at scale. This 25-card bulk pack puts three independent credentials on every printable white PVC card: FIDO2-certified phishing-resistant authentication (including passwordless / passkey sign-in where supported by the operating system, browser, and service), a PIV applet with on-card RSA-4096 for smart-card logon and document signing, and MIFARE DESFire EV2 4K for physical building access. All three applets run on a single EAL6+ secure element (NXP JCOP 4 on P71D321). One wallet-sized credential per employee replaces a separate FIDO2 authenticator, a PIV smart card, and an RFID office badge — provisioned, tracked and revoked as a single SKU. MIFARE DESFire EV2 4K compatibility with proprietary access-control systems is not universal — test a sample card with your readers and software before rolling out the batch.

Why Choose the Converged 25-Pack?

  • Three Credentials, One Card — Each of the 25 cards handles FIDO2 web authentication, PIV smart-card logon / document signing, and MIFARE DESFire physical access
  • Enterprise Cost Savings — Bulk per-unit pricing versus individual purchases, and you eliminate separate authenticator, PIV-card and badge procurement
  • Simplified IT Management — One credential to provision, track and revoke per employee, across three security domains
  • White PVC for Branding — Print employee photos, company logo, department names and visible serial numbers on standard ID card printers

Three Converged Credentials

  • FIDO2 / WebAuthn — phishing-resistant second-factor and, where supported, passwordless authentication on services that support FIDO2 / WebAuthn or legacy U2F (Google, Microsoft, Apple, GitHub and many others), with 36 on-card resident-credential slots (discoverable passkeys; up to 8 per website by default) and ES256 / NIST P-256 attestation, subject to OS / browser support
  • PIV — a NIST SP 800-73-4 PIV applet supporting RSA-4096 (plus RSA-2048 and ECC P-256 / P-384) across the four PIV key slots, for Windows / Active Directory smart-card logon, S/MIME, document and code signing, and certificate-based VPN (EAP-TLS). Ships blank for customer personalization, with a decoupled PIV admin key so integrators can load keys, certificates and PINs without the issuer’s card-management key
  • MIFARE DESFire EV2 4K — program as a DESFire EV2 4K credential for compatible building-entry and physical-access-control systems after encoding by your facilities team or access-control integrator (test with your target readers and software before rollout)

Key Features

  • FIDO Alliance Certified — FIDO2 v2.1 + CTAP Level 1
  • Government-grade PIV — PIV with RSA-4096 keys generated on-card; private keys never leave the secure element
  • Blank white PVC design — printable face ideal for corporate environments and custom branding (employee photos, logos, department names, QR codes, visible serial numbers)
  • NFC + contact — tap on NFC-enabled phones and contactless readers, or insert into a contact (ISO 7816) smart-card reader
  • EAL6+ secure element — private keys are generated and stored in the secure element as non-exportable keys, with hardware protections designed to resist extraction
  • Cross-platform with OS caveats — Windows: full FIDO2 / passkeys + PIV smart-card logon. iOS: FIDO2 over NFC (iPhone 7+, iOS 13.3+). Android: external NFC keys mainly via CTAP1 / U2F (older FIDO1 protocol — second factor on most major services, not yet for FIDO2 passwordless / passkey sign-in). macOS: FIDO2 over NFC varies by version and browser; PIV via CryptoTokenKit / OpenSC. Linux: FIDO2 via the open-source Cryptnox FIDO2 HID bridge; PIV via OpenSC / PKCS#11.

What Is a PIV Card?

A PIV (Personal Identity Verification) card is a smart card that stores a cryptographic identity — private keys and X.509 certificates held in a tamper-resistant secure element — used to prove who you are to computers, networks and applications. Defined by the U.S. government standard NIST FIPS 201 / SP 800-73, the PIV model is now widely adopted by enterprises for PIV-I (interoperable) credentialing. The Cryptnox card implements the NIST SP 800-73-4 PIV standard and generates its keys on-card — including RSA-4096 — so the private key never leaves the chip. Because the same card also carries FIDO2 and MIFARE, one PIV smart card can handle Windows / Active Directory smart-card logon, document signing and certificate-based VPN alongside passwordless web sign-in and physical building access.

PIV Use Cases

  • Windows Active Directory smart-card logon (Kerberos PKINIT)
  • S/MIME email signing & encryption; document / PDF signing; code signing
  • Certificate-based VPN and Wi-Fi (EAP-TLS)
  • Enterprise PIV-I (non-federal interoperable) and derived-credential deployments
  • High-assurance signatures using RSA-4096 keys generated on-card

Recommended Rollout Workflow

For a converged card, deployment runs in parallel tracks:

  • IT (FIDO2): enrolls the FIDO2 credential with the user’s accounts or IdP (Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, etc.)
  • PIV / IT: personalizes the PIV applet — loads 9A / 9C / 9D / 9E keys, certificates and PINs via the decoupled admin key
  • Facilities (MIFARE DESFire): the access-control integrator encodes the DESFire EV2 application, files and diversified AES keys for the target reader fleet
  • Badge / HR: prints visible identity data on the blank white PVC face

Test web sign-in, smart-card logon and door access on a single sample card before issuing the rest of the batch.

Certifications

Each part of the card is certified independently. Chip / platform certifications (NXP JCOP 4 on P71D321, Java Card platform):

  • Common Criteria EAL 6+ augmented — NSCIB-CC-2300172-02
  • AIS-31 compliant True Random Number Generator (chip-level)

Applet certifications (each certified separately):

  • FIDO2 applet: FIDO Alliance Certified — FIDO2 v2.1 + CTAP Level 1
  • PIV applet: built from the same codebase that was certified under FIPS 140-3 (NIST CMVP certificate #5280), NIST SP 800-73-4 / SP 800-78-4 conformant. The applet is not deployed in the configuration covered by that certificate, and Cryptnox does not claim any FIPS certification at this stage. Card management uses SCP03.

Cryptography: FIDO2 attestation uses NIST P-256 (secp256r1) only; the PIV applet generates RSA-4096 / RSA-2048 / ECC P-256 / P-384 keys on-card, and private keys never leave the secure element.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the PIV applet on this card do?

The PIV applet turns the card into a government-grade PIV smart card. Built on the NIST SP 800-73-4 PIV standard, it provides the four standard PIV key slots (9A authentication, 9C digital signature, 9D key management, 9E card authentication) and supports RSA-4096 as well as RSA-2048 and ECC P-256 / P-384. Keys are generated on-card, so the private key never leaves the secure element. That lets one card handle Windows / Active Directory smart-card logon (Kerberos PKINIT), S/MIME email signing and encryption, document and code signing, and certificate-based VPN or Wi-Fi (EAP-TLS). The card ships with the PIV applet installed but blank — your team personalizes the keys, certificates and PINs.

How is this different from the Cryptnox FIDO2 + MIFARE card?

Both cards share the same FIDO2 web-authentication applet and MIFARE DESFire EV2 4K access-control applet on the same EAL6+ secure element. This version adds a third applet — PIV with RSA-4096 — for smart-card logon, document signing and certificate-based VPN. If you only need passwordless / 2FA web sign-in plus building access, the FIDO2 + MIFARE White PVC card covers that. Choose this card when you also need a PIV identity — for example Windows domain logon or signing certificates — converged onto the same printable badge.

How does it compare to a YubiKey 5 series key?

A YubiKey 5 also combines FIDO2 and PIV, so both can do passwordless sign-in and smart-card logon. The differences are form factor and scope: the Cryptnox card is a wallet-sized ISO 7810 ID-1 card with a blank white PVC face you can print on standard ID card printers (employee photo, logo, department, QR code), whereas the YubiKey is a fixed-branding keychain fob. The Cryptnox card also carries a MIFARE DESFire EV2 4K applet for physical door access on the same credential, which the YubiKey does not offer. If you need a single printable badge that unifies web 2FA, PIV identity and building access, this card converges all three.

Does the card ship ready to use, or does it need provisioning?

The FIDO2 applet is personalized at the factory (attestation certificate and key, plus 36 blank resident-credential slots), so FIDO2 / passkey enrollment works out of the box. The PIV applet ships blank — no PINs or certificates until your IT team personalizes it. To make integration easier, the PIV admin channel uses a dedicated, decoupled key (a separate GP Security Domain) rather than the issuer’s card-management key, so an integrator can load PIV keys, certificates and PINs without the master key. That PIV admin key ships as the published GlobalPlatform test key, so rotate it to your own secret before you issue cards: until you do, anyone holding the card can administer the PIV application, including setting a new PIN. A per-card Cryptnox factory keyset in the same domain supports genuineness checks and recovery, and can be removed if your policy requires sole custody. Cryptnox support provides the rotation procedure. The MIFARE applet ships with NXP factory-default AES keys to be diversified by your access-control integrator. For volume provisioning or pre-printed cards, use the Cryptnox contact form.

Which services, standards and operating systems does it support?

The FIDO2 applet works with any service supporting FIDO2, WebAuthn or legacy U2F — Google, Microsoft, Apple ID, GitHub, GitLab, AWS, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, login.gov, AGOV and SwissID, plus major banks and exchanges — as a phishing-resistant second factor, and for passwordless sign-in where the service supports it. The PIV applet conforms to NIST FIPS 201-3 / SP 800-73-4 and works with the Windows native smart-card mini-driver (Base CSP), PKCS#11 middleware and OpenSC, and is suitable for PIV-I (interoperable) credentialing.

OS and browser compatibility: Windows 10/11 has full FIDO2 / passkey support plus PIV smart-card logon via the native mini-driver. iOS supports FIDO2 over NFC natively (any iPhone 7+, iOS 13.3+). Android currently supports only CTAP1 / U2F (FIDO1) for external NFC keys — it works as a U2F second factor on most major services, but not for FIDO2 passwordless / passkey sign-in. macOS FIDO2-over-NFC support varies by version and browser; PIV is available via CryptoTokenKit or OpenSC. Linux browsers expect a HID interface — use the Cryptnox FIDO2 HID bridge for FIDO2, and OpenSC / PKCS#11 for PIV. Always test with your specific OS + browser + service before a production rollout.

How many passkeys can I store for one service, such as Microsoft Entra ID?

Up to 8 per website (relying party) by default, out of the card’s 36 passkey slots in total. This matters mostly for users with several accounts on the same service, typically Microsoft Entra ID. Cards without the per-website limit are available on special request — please contact us.
