One question that looks for an answer at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), starting a week from Monday, is whether the iPhone 3.0 software update will support PIV card authentication and who will provide that support.

On Friday, Thursby Software announced ADmitMac for PIV, which lets Macs support the National Institute of Standards and Technology's 'Personal Identity Verification' card standard that is required for all federal government employees and contractors when connecting to government networks.

ADmitMac for PIV (ADPIV) obtains Kerberos tickets using PIV certificates, makes these tickets available to “Kerberized” applications, locks the computer upon removal of a PIV card, and protects the computer from unauthorized use when it wakes from sleep.

This version enables E-mail user access to Exchange using Entourage 2004 or OWA without needing passwords. ADPIV takes care of authentication to Exchange servers. Entourage 2008 users can authenticate using a PIV card.

So, support for PIV from several vendors is good news for Mac users in the government. But what about the iPhone, which is used by Windows and Mac users?

A couple of months ago, I was pinged by a CTO of a federal agency looking for PIV support with iPhones. He said his agency had spent more than half a year pitching upper management for the okay to use iPhones and finally, the approval had been received.

But what about a card reader? That's the problem, there is a PIV-savvy reader for the BlackBerry but not one for the iPhone.
