Our take on the PIVKey C915 Dual (Contact/Contactless) PKI Smart Card

The PIVKey C915 is a dual-interface PKI smart card that works over both a contact ISO 7816 reader and a contactless ISO 14443 NFC reader, including the one built into a phone. It follows the US Government PIV standard (FIPS SP 800-73) and the Windows smart card minidriver, so it fits government-style PIV logins and Windows certificate-based sign-in. It replaces the older C910 and is aimed at organizations rolling out badge-based PKI authentication rather than consumers. Against rival PIV cards it stands out for the contactless option at an entry-level position; the trade-off is that it is a bare card with no reader, no software and no bundled middleware.

About the PIVKey C915 Dual (Contact/Contactless) PKI Smart Card

The PIVKey C915 is a dual interface (contact and contactless) PKI smart card. It is a more powerful version of the C910 card. It is compatible with the US Government PIV standard (FIPS SP 800-73) and the Microsoft Windows Smart Card Subsystem (Minidriver).

The contact interface supports ISO 7816 for reading and writing. The contactless interface supports ISO 14443 for reading and writing. It works with any compliant NFC reader, including USB readers and readers built into a mobile phone.

The card body is ISO 7810/7816 compatible, with a PVC overlay on top and bottom. It comes blank, without pre-printing, so it can be printed with standard plastic card printers. It is designed for deployment with the built-in smart card management features of Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Certification Authority and Active Directory can personalize it using the PIVKey Windows Minidriver. Free admin tools from the PIVKey website handle tasks such as setting the PIN and Administration Keys and unblocking cards.

Questions and answers

Does the C915 work with a phone's built-in NFC reader?
Yes. The contactless side follows ISO 14443 and works with any compliant NFC reader, including readers built into mobile phones.
Is it a drop-in replacement for the C910?
PIVKey positions the C915 as a more powerful version of the C910 and recommends C910 users switch to it. Both are PIV smart cards, so the same certificate and minidriver setup applies.
Do I need a special reader?
Any ISO 7816 contact reader or ISO 14443 contactless reader works. Standard USB smart card readers and NFC readers qualify; the card does not include one.
Does it work with Windows login?
Yes. It supports the Microsoft Windows Smart Card Subsystem minidriver, which is what Windows smart card logon uses.
Is it PIV-compliant for government use?
PIVKey states the card is compatible with the US Government PIV standard, FIPS SP 800-73.
What comes in the box?
The product is the smart card itself. Readers, middleware and certificate provisioning are separate.
