Biometrics

ISO/IEC 19785 (Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework, or CBEFF) is an international standard that promotes interoperability of biometric-based application programs and systems developed by different vendors by facilitating biometric data interchange. It specifies a set of abstract data elements as well as a number of alternative formats for the representation of biometric information. Many of those formats are specified in ASN.1.
ISO/IEC 24781 (BioAPI Interworking Protocol, or BIP) is an international standard that specifies the syntax, semantics, and encodings of a set of messages that enable an application to request biometric services over a network. All BIP messages are specified in ASN.1.
ISO/IEC 24761 (Authentication Context for Biometrics, or ACBio), is an international standard that specifies a mechanism for increasing the reliability of biometric verification operations conducted inside a remote device or system. ACBio applies public-key cryptography techniques to secure each stage of a biometric verification process. The security-related information produced during each stage is collected into a list of "authentication context instances", whose format is specified in ASN.1.
