Scope

This document specifies the subjects to be addressed during a security evaluation of a biometric system.

This document provides an overview of the main biometric-specific aspects, i.e., recognition performance, presentation attack detection, and privacy, and specifies principles to be considered for the security evaluation of a biometric system.

This document does not address the non-biometric aspects which can form part of the overall security evaluation of a system using biometric technology (e.g. requirements on databases or communication channels).

This document does not aim to define any concrete methodology for the security evaluation of biometric systems but instead focuses on the principal requirements. As such, the requirements in this document are independent of any evaluation or certification scheme and will need to be incorporated into and adapted before being used in the context of a concrete scheme.
