- Agencies should procure only cards validated by the NIST Personal Identity Verification Program (NPIVP).

Approved PIV Cards
PIV Cards – Legacy
Legacy PIV cards are no longer approved for purchase by the FIPS 201 Evaluation Program, and any cardstock designated as “legacy” is placed on this legacy list. However, some federal agencies still need to procure the legacy cardstock to use while existing systems are being upgraded. Agencies must stop using cardstock on the legacy list by June 30, 2024.

Agencies procuring cardstock from the legacy list assume all risks associated with its use from now until the NIST-mandated deadline of June 30, 2024.
If your agency needs to purchase cardstock from this legacy list, you must submit an Assumption of Risk Memorandum (memo) from the agency Chief Information Officer(s) to the General Services Administration (GSA). The memo must contain the following information:
- Acknowledgement of the assumption of all associated security risks;
- Acknowledgement of non-compliance with NIST standards;
- A transition plan specifying major milestones to achieve full compliance by the 2024 deadline; and
- Implications resulting from non-compliance with federal policy related to this purchase.
Submit the memo to GSA’s Associate Administrator for Government-wide Policy (OGP) (regardless of the procurement vehicle used). If using GSA Schedules as the procurement vehicle, also submit a copy of the memo to the Commissioner of GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service.
Note that GSA will provide the Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer (OFCIO) at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with copies of all memos submitted.
Based on agency-provided transition plans, GSA OGP will review the products on the legacy list in 12 months (May 2020) for removal.

WDI (WLAN Device Driver Interface) is the new Universal Windows driver model for Windows 10. WLAN device manufacturers can write a single WDI miniport driver that runs on all device platforms, and requires less code than the previous native WLAN driver model. All new WLAN features introduced in Windows 10 require WDI-based drivers.
Vendor-supplied native WLAN drivers continue to work in Windows 10, but functionality is limited to the version of Windows for which they were developed.
The WDI header files, wditypes.hpp and dot11wdi.h, are included in the WDK.
How to write a universal WLAN driver
To write a universal WLAN driver, see Getting Started with Universal Windows drivers, and follow the steps in the section titled Building a Universal Windows driver to build a universal driver using the Kernel Mode Driver (KMDF) template.
Then, see the WDI design and reference sections for implementation guidance.
