Registry of biometric standards proposed
An interagency technology council has released a draft of a registry of biometric standards that could improve sharing of data between agencies. The registry is an attempt to establish agreement on interagency standards so that biometric systems will be interoperable. The registry includes recommended standards for data collection, storage and exchange; transmission profiles; requirements for identifying government employees and contractors; performance testing methodology standards; and references. It has been released through the National Institute of Standards and Technology for public comment; comments should be e-mailed to standards@biometrics.gov by March 10. Comments will be reviewed by the NSTC Technology Committee.
