Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial & Other Biometric Information: NiST SP 500-304
NIST SP 500-304 June 2015
The existence of biometric standards alone is not enough to demonstrate that products meet the technical requirements specified in the standards. Conformance testing captures the technical description of a specification and measures whether an implementation faithfully implements the specification. Conformance testing provides developers, users, and purchasers with increased levels of confidence in product quality and increases the probability of successful interoperability. Lack of conformance to the required standard(s) can, in many cases, jeopardize the expected biometric recognition performance or prevent access to the data (as well as impact the overall operational performance) since implementers may handle non-conformant records in different ways during processing.
Although no conformance test can be comprehensive enough to test all the different combinations of mandatory requirements of a standard and all possible combinations of conditional and optional characteristics that could be included in American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/NIST-ITL 2011 2013 (AN-2013) transactions, a well-designed conformance test tool that faithfully implements a standard conformance testing methodology could raise the level of confidence on the test results. Therefore, transactions tested with such a tool (and reported to be conformant to the standard), are more likely to conform to the standard.
Why buy a book you can download for free?
First you gotta find it and make sure it’s the latest version, not always easy. Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people – and its outta paper – and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it’s just 10 pages, no problem, but if it’s a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that’s paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant’s anymore?).
If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money.
It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
