Standards

M1 serves as the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (U.S. TAG) for the international organization ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37 on Biometrics, which was established in June 2002. As the U.S. TAG to SC 37, M1 is responsible for establishing U.S. positions and contributions to SC 37, as well as representing the U.S. at SC 37 meetings.
M1 currently has three Task Groups:
M1.2, the Task
Group on Biometric Technical Interfaces and Profiles, chaired
by Fred Herr, ID Technology
Partners, covers the standardization of all necessary interfaces
and interactions between biometric components and sub-systems,
including the possible use of security mechanisms to protect stored
data and data transferred between systems. M1.2 is responsible for
the development of biometric application profiles. M1.2 will also consider
the need for a reference model for the architecture and operation
of biometric systems in order to identify the standards that are needed
to support multi-vendor systems and their applications.
M1.2 is the U.S. TAG to SC 37/WG2 - Biometric Technical Interfaces and SC 37/WG4 - Biometric Functional Architecture and Related Profiles.
M1.5 is the
Task Group on Biometric Performance Testing and Reporting
and is chaired by Acting Chair, Mr. Michael Thieme, IBG.
It handles the standardization of biometric performance metric
definitions and calculations, approaches to test performance
and requirements for reporting the results of these tests. M1.5
is responsible for the development of a Multi-Part Standard on Biometric
Performance Testing and Reporting.
M1.5 is the U.S. TAG to SC 37/WG5 - Biometric Testing and
Reporting
M1.6, the Task
Group on Cross Jurisdictional and Societal Issues is chaired
by Mr. Peter E. Sand,
U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It addresses study and standardization
of technical solutions to societal aspects of biometric implementations.
Excluded from the TG's scope is the specification of policies, the
limitation of usage, or imposition of non-technical requirements
on the implementations of biometric technologies, applications, or systems.
M1.6 is responsible for US technical contributions to JTC1 SC 37
WG 6 on Cross-Jurisdictional and Societal Issues.
M1.6 is the U.S.TAG to SC 37/WG6 - Cross-Jurisdictional
and Societal Aspects of Biometrics.
Membership on M1 and its Task Groups
Membership on M1 and its Task Groups is open to all materially affected parties. Organizations interested in obtaining membership on M1 should contact the M1 Chairman, Fernando Podio, and the Associate Manager, Standards Operations, Barbara Bennett (bbennett@itic.org).
