Mission of new initiative is to help agencies, others put PIV credentials to use

The presidential directive ordering a standard, interoperable identification credential for federal employees is coming up on its sixth birthday. The deadline to have these Personal Identification Verification (PIV) credentials issued is more than a year old.

And while every federal employee may not yet be carrying around a PIV there have been more than 4 million credentials issued. So it just makes sense that the next step should be creating use cases for the IDs.
