The PIV application does not have a container for encryption key history. This key pair needs to be placed in another container. EDS will work with ActivIdentity to incorporate support for key history into the CMS and ActivClient PIV products. Providing this capability will take several months to accommodate development and testing. There is no standard methodology for interoperability in this area. Entrust Managed Services supports key recovery and automatically escrows all encryption/decryption key pairs.
