ICAM ProofCards by CertiPath Inc are designed to enhance testing integrity with a minimal set of credentials. They provide a convenient and systematic way to approach unit testing, acceptance testing, and even Certification and Accreditation activities. ICAM ProofCards help prove a system's reliability by offering a known good and bad baseline. They are designed to utilize the GSA Approved Products List (APL) testing infrastructure, offering conditions similar to those at the GSA FICAM APL lab for definitive operational testing. ICAM ProofCards meet operational needs for GSA FICAM APL testing conformance, ensuring systems are ready for PIV and PIV-I. They drive product and testing program success, demonstrating system capabilities and product conformance. ICAM ProofCards test an access control system's ability to correctly interoperate with and interrogate well-formed, Golden PIV and PIV-I credentials, establishing a known good baseline for performance measurement. Test cases include manipulated data on a credential, invalid dates, copied data objects on a credential, revoked credentials, and mismatched keying material from skimmed credentials. ICAM ProofCards are a strategic component of a testing strategy, ensuring PIV and PIV-I conformance. Throughout development, deployment, and Certification and Accreditation, systems must be tested for compliance with requirements dictated by the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) in Enterprise Physical Access Control Systems (E-PACS) document that helps support the federal government’s Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) implementation; FISMA; and OMB M-11-11. ICAM ProofCards remove variables and make a difficult problem easy to address.
