Pilot a dual-stack post-quantum PIV migration
How can new credentials and services be tested without locking out users or breaking relying applications?
Operational pain
PIV authentication, signing, encryption, middleware, readers, and relying systems evolve on different procurement and accreditation schedules.
Trigger
PIV refresh planning, new federal guidance, or a major identity-platform replacement.
QNSI contribution
Connect the decision to a controlled security path
Use QNSI inventory and policy to identify credential use, relying-party compatibility, algorithm cohorts, and exception lifetimes.
Decision artifact
A PIV dual-stack pilot plan with relying-party matrix, test identities, rollback, and retirement gates.
What still requires validation
The agency and accredited assessors approve profile conformance, issuance, middleware, accessibility, and authorization impacts.
External problem context
Primary sources
These sources establish the external requirement or risk context. They do not endorse HEOSSI or prove that QNSI completed this scenario.
Evidence boundary
What this page does—and does not—prove
This is a product evaluation pattern, not a customer case study, certification, legal opinion, regulator endorsement, or claim that a production deployment completed the described work.
