Standards


IDTP has been involved with the development and application of technical industry standards since the mid 1990's. IDTP holds memberships in and contributes expertise to the standards bodies themselves, including serving as committee chairs and technical editors. IDTP also serves as a "standards incubator" to INCITS / M1, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards group for biometrics.

IDTP personnel were actively involved in several early biometric standards organizations, including:

  • BioAPI Consortium
  • NIST Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (CBEFF)
  • Biometric Consortium Working Group

IDTP is currently a member of and actively contributes to US and international standards bodies where its expertise is relevant, including:

  • ANSI / INCITS B10
  • ANSI / INCITS M1 Subcommittee and selected Task Groups (including Chair of INCITS TG M1.2)
  • ISO/IEC JTC 1 / SC 37 International Biometric standards sub-committee

Further, IDTP personnel have served or are serving important roles for already published standards as well as some currently under development:

  • ANSI/INCITS 394-2004 - Border Management Application Profile (technical editor)
  • ANSI/INCITS 383-2004 - Transportation Workers Identification Card Application Profile (technical co-editor)
  • SC37 ISO/IEC 19785 - Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (technical editor parts 1, 2 and 3)
  • Government Smart Card- Interagency Advisory Board (GSC-IAB) Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201 & Special Publication (SP) 800-73, SP 800-76 and SP 800-78 initiatives

IDTP is an active, direct participant in domestic and international standards efforts related to advanced identification technologies. These organizations, (that include NIST, ANSI, and ISO) create the mature operational environment to advance emerging identity authentication markets. IDTP can provide expertise and direction in matters of standards compliance that impact your business or program. If there is an interest to participate in the standards process, IDTP can become an avenue for you. Subject areas include biometrics, smart cards, federal credentialing (GSC-IAB, FIPS-201) and guidance in developing conforming implementations.
