NIST Scoring Package Certification Procedures in Conjunction with NIST SpecialDatabases 2 and 6

摘要

The procedures outlined in the report have been developed by the NationalInstitute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in order to promote compliance with existing NIST Scoring Package file formats. Through certification, the proper use of the Scoring Package is promoted and the successful scoring of recognition system data is maximized. The certification procedures presented in the document have been developed in conjunction with NIST Special Database 2 (SD2) and NIST Special Database 6 (SD6). These two databases contain images of synthesized tax forms. The data entered on the forms appears real, but the values have been generated at random by a computer. NIST offers certification to any organization that has purchased the Scoring Package and requests the service.
