Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (CBEFF)

摘要

This specification, the Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework, is an augmented and revised version of the original CBEFF, the Common Biometric Exchange File Format, published in January 2001 as NISTIR 6529. This version, NISTIR 6529-A, was developed by the CBEFF team based on the specification approved by the Biometrics Interoperability, Performance, and Assurance Working Group (NIST/BC WG) cosponsored by NIST and the Biometric Consortium. In addition to the name change, which reflects more accurately the scope of the specification, this revised version incorporates the following new features: A CBEFF Nested Structure; A Subheader/Basic Structure Count; Additional and redefined fields; Two new Formats have been added: 1. Biometric Information Data Objects for Use within Smart Cards or Other Tokens. This format has been defined with the collaboration of technical experts from ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 17 WG4 and INCITS Technical Committee B10. 2. CBEFF Patron Format B, a simple root header for use in domains where more than one Patron Format, simple or nested, may be encountered. In addition, more detailed information on the concept of CBEFF Patrons, the current list of Patrons and how to apply for a new CBEFF Patron have been added.
