VhlCfg / File / PivPublicKey Value

This value specifies the public key (ECC P-256) required to perform PIV cardholder authentication via PKI-CAK (NIST SP 800-73). It must represent the public key of the certificate authority (CA) that issued the Card Authentication certificates stored on the cards to be authenticated and read.

If this value isn't available, the firmware assumes self-signed certificates, and the public key is retrieved from the Card Authentication certificate.
