Roles for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Accelerating the Development of Critical Biometric Consensus Standards for US Homeland Security and the Prevention of ID Theft
Overview Deploying new information technology systems for homeland security will require a comprehensive set of both national and international technically sound standards for biometrics that meet the U.S. needs. NIST has worked in close partnership with other U.S. government agencies and industry to establish formal standards groups for biometric standards development. These groups are actively working on accelerating the development of national and international biometric standards, which are of high relevance to the U.S. To describe in detail NIST's current involvement in formal national and international biometric standards, NIST has developed this white paper and a related biometric standards development program and business plan.
