SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Law enforcement and related criminal justice
agencies, as well as identity management organizations, procure
equipment and systems intended to facilitate the determination of the
personal identity of a subject or verify the identity of a subject
using biometric information. To effectively exchange identity data
across jurisdictional lines or between dissimilar systems made by
different manufacturers, a standard is needed to specify a common
format for the data exchange.
Biometric data refers to a digital or analog representation of a
behavioral or physical characteristic of an individual that can be used
by an automated system to distinguish an individual as belonging to a
subgroup of the entire population or, in many cases, can be used to
uniquely establish or verify the identity of a person (compared to a
claimed or referenced identity). Biometric modalities specifically
included in this standard are: fingerprints, plantars (footprints),
palm prints, facial images, DNA and iris images. Identifying
characteristics that may be used manually to establish or verify the
identity of an individual are included in the standard. These
identifying characteristics include scars, (needle) marks, tattoos, and
certain characteristics of facial photos, iris images and images of
other body parts. Latent friction ridge prints (fingerprint, palm print
and plantars) are included in this standard and may be used in either
an automated system or forensically (or both).
NIST's Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) led the development
of this American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved American
National Standard using the NIST Canvass Method to demonstrate evidence
of consensus. NIST, as the Editor of the ANSI/NIST-ITL Standard, is
soliciting recommendations and/or presentations to highlight specific
updates the community of interest may want included in the next update
of this document. Hence, NIST is hosting a public workshop to update
the ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2001 Update: 2015 standard, ``Data Format for the
Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial & Other Biometric Information''
(NIST Special Publication 500-290 Edition 3 (2015)). This event will be
completely virtual and occur February 21-23, 2023, from 9:00 a.m.-4:00
p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Federal, industry, and academic
stakeholders and interested parties who wish to participate in this
workshop should please use this link to register: <a href="https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2023/02/ansi-nist-itl-standards-update-workshop">https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2023/02/ansi-nist-itl-standards-update-workshop</a>.
