Definition

The Biometric Implementation Code of Practice and Profiles provide high-level descriptions of the biometric elements of recognition systems. They outline and articulate the implications on the rest of the recognition system of the biometric elements and profile the challenges and issues of using biometrics. They provide a balanced set of recommendations to ensure that the benefits of using biometrics are maximized in any particular application.

Motivation for the Development of Biometric Systems Code of Practice and Profiles for Implementation

The use of biometric information and the making of decisions based on the matching of biometric data bring a complexity to system development that is not found in many other disciplines. In addition, the use of biometric data itself brings a lot of responsibilities to those gathering, holding, and using it. These issues are...
