INCITS M1 Biometrics
The Executive Board of INCITS established Technical Committee M1,
Biometrics, in November 2001 to ensure a high priority, focused, and
comprehensive approach in the United States for the rapid development
and approval of formal national and international generic biometric
standards.

ISO JTC 1/SC 37 : Biometrics
SC 37 Biometrics
: Standardization of generic biometric technologies pertaining to human
beings to support interoperability and data interchange among
applications and systems. Generic human biometric standards
include: common file frameworks; biometric application programming
interfaces; biometric data interchange formats; related biometric
profiles; application of evaluation criteria to biometric technologies;
methodologies for performance testing and reporting and cross
jurisdictional and societal aspects.

XML-Signature Syntax and Processing
XML-Signature Syntax and Processing Specifies XML compliant syntax used for
representing the signature of Web resources and portions of protocol messages
(anything referencable by a URI) and procedures for computing and verifying such
signatures.

DIGITAL SIGNATURE STANDARD (DSS) FIPS186
Synonymous with the IETF X.509 PKIX, the DSS
is the US Federal standard specifying a Digital Signature Algorithm
(DSA) appropriate for applications requiring a digital rather than
written signature.
With DSS, one can encrypt the data (making it difficult for an
unauthorized person to read the data) and authenticate it (providing
assurance the data came from a known individual and is not
fraud). The DSS standard is known as FIPS 186, for Federal Information
Processing Standard. There are several related FIPS : FIPS PUB
46-2, Data Encryption Standard, FIPS PUB 73, Guidelines for Security of
Computer Applications, FIPS PUB 140-1, Security Requirements for
Cryptographic
Modules, FIPS PUB 171, Key Management Using ANSI X9.17, and FIPS
PUB 180, Secure Hash Standard.

Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) (pkix)
PKI is the dominant encryption and authentication technology used
to secure electronic signatures and biometrics with their data.
With PKI, one can encrypt the data (making it difficult for an
unauthorized person to read the data) and authenticate it (providing
assurance the data came from a known individual and is not
fraud). Technically, PKI defines the system that provides
public-key encryption, digital signature, and management of the
keys and
certificates.
The PKIX
(Public Key Infrastructure) Working Group establishes the standards for X.509-based PKI.
