Overview: Under the direction of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee, is responsible for the UK input to standardization of generic biometric technologies pertaining to human beings to support interoperability and data interchange among applications and systems. Generic human biometric standards include: common file frameworks; biometric application programming interfaces; biometric data interchange formats; related biometric profiles; application of evaluation criteria to biometric technologies; methodologies for performance testing and reporting and cross jurisdictional and societal aspects. Excluded is the work in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17 to apply biometric technologies to cards and personal identification. Excluded is the work in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 for biometric data protection techniques, biometric security testing, evaluations and evaluation methodologies.
