ANSI/INCITS and ISO/IEC Biometric Standards (Revised August 30, 2008)Report on Biometrics and E-Authentication (Available free of charge) |
---|
M1 serves as the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (U.S. TAG) for the international organization ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37 on Biometrics, which was established in June 2002. As the U.S. TAG to SC 37, M1 is responsible for establishing U.S. positions and contributions to SC 37, as well as representing the U.S. at SC 37 meetings.
M1 has created five new Task Groups to handle increased activity in biometrics. The purview of the five Task Groups is as follows:
M1.2, the Task Group on Biometric Technical Interfaces, chaired by Fred Herr, ID Technology Partners, covers the standardization of all necessary interfaces and interactions between biometric components and sub-systems, including the possible use of security mechanisms to protect stored data and data transferred between systems. M1.2 will also consider the need for a reference model for the architecture and operation of biometric systems in order to identify the standards that are needed to support multi-vendor systems and their applications.
M1.3, the Task Group on Biometric Data Interchange Formats, chaired by Mr. Greg Cannon, CrossMatch Technologies, focuses on the standardization of the content, meaning and representation of biometric data interchange formats.
M1.4, the Task Group on Biometric Profiles, chaired by Mr. Fernando Podio, National Institute of Standards and Technology, covers the standardization of Application Profile projects.
M1.5 is the Task Group on Biometric Performance Testing and Reporting and is chaired by Acting Chair, Mr. Michael Thieme, IBG. It handles the standardization of biometric performance metric definitions and calculations, approaches to test performance and requirements for reporting the results of these tests. M1.5 is responsible for the development of a Multi-Part Standard on Biometric Performance Testing and Reporting.
M1.6, the Task Group on Cross Jurisdictional and Societal Issues and is chaired by Ms. Elaine M. Newton, National Institute of Standards and Technology. It addresses study and standardization of technical solutions to societal aspects of biometric implementations. Excluded from the TG's scope is the specification of policies, the limitation of usage, or imposition of non-technical requirements on the implementations of biometric technologies, applications, or systems. M1.6 is responsible for US technical contributions to JTC1 SC 37 WG 6 on Cross-Jurisdictional and Societal Issues.
Membership on M1 and its Task Groups
Membership on M1 and its Task Groups is open to all materially affected parties. Organizations interested in obtaining membership on M1 should contact the M1 Chairman, Fernando Podio, and the Associate Manager, Standards Operations, Barbara Bennett (bbennett@itic.org).
