Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. They are used to recognize the identity of an individual, or to verify a claimed identity. The OASIS XML Common Biometric Format (XCBF) Technical Committee defines a common set of secure XML encodings for the patron formats specified in CBEFF, the Common Biometric Exchange File Format (NISTIR 6529). These XML encodings are based on the ASN.1 schema defined in ANSI X9.84:2003 Biometrics Information Management and Security. They conform to the XML Encoding Rules (XER) for ASN.1 defined in ITU-T Recommendation X.693, and rely on the security and processing requirements specified in X9.96 XML Cryptographic Message Syntax (XCMS).
The XCBF Asn1API is compliant with :
The XCBF Asn1API includes CXER, XER and DER, BER encoders/decoders.
