It also references FBI documentation, the ANSI/NIST Fingerprint Standard, and the Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification. Its primary design objective is high performance universal interoperability.
SP 800-76 describes technical acquisition and formatting specifications for the biometric credentials of the PIV system and enumerates procedures and formats for fingerprints and facial images by restricting values and practices included generically in published biometric standards.
Personal Identify Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors: Mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 to improve the identification and authentication of federal employees and contractors to securely access federal and other facilities where there is potential for terrorist attacks.īiometric Data Specification for Personal Identify Verification: Special Publication 800-76 is a companion document to FIPS 201. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Information compiled and formatted in accordance with ISO/IEC 19794-4:2011 can be recorded on machine-readable media or may be transmitted by data communication facilities. This information is intended for interchange among organizations that rely on automated devices and systems for identification or verification purposes based on the information from finger image areas. The information consists of a variety of mandatory and optional items, including scanning parameters, compressed or uncompressed images and vendor-specific information. This can be used for the exchange and comparison of finger image data.It defines the content, format, and units of measurement for the exchange of finger image data that may be used in the verification or identification process of a subject. ISO/IEC 19794-4:2011 specifies a data record interchange format for storing, recording, and transmitting the information from one or more finger or palm image areas within an ISO/IEC 19785-1 CBEFF data structure. ISO/IEC 19794-2:2011 provides for interchange of finger minutiae data between sensing, storage and matching systems.īiometric data interchange formats - Part 4: Finger image data Optional extended data formats for including additional data such as ridge counts and core and delta location.Three data formats for interchange and storage of this data: a record-based format, and normal and compact formats for use on a smart card in a match-on-card application.The fundamental data elements used for minutiae-based representation of a fingerprint.Guidelines and values for matching and decision parameters are provided in an informative annex. ISO/IEC 19794-2:2011 contains definitions of relevant terms, a description of how minutiae shall be determined, data formats for containing the data for both general use and for use with cards, and conformance information. It is generic, in that it may be applied and used in a wide range of application areas where automated fingerprint recognition is involved. ISO/IEC 19794-2:2011 specifies a concept and data formats for representation of fingerprints using the fundamental notion of minutiae. The International Organization for Standardizationīiometric data interchange formats - Part 2: Finger minutiae data
and international biometrics standards and supports these specifications.
