Information technology. Conformance testing methodology for biometric data interchange formats defined in ISO/IEC 19794. Signature/sign time series data | Status: Current, Confirmed

1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 29109 specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and test procedures as applicable to ISO/IEC 19794-7. ISO/IEC 19794-7 defines two data interchange formats for signature/sign time series data, one for general use and one compact format for use with smart cards and other tokens. This part of ISO/IEC 29109 establishes

• — test assertions of the structure of both signature/sign time series data formats as specified in ISO/IEC 19794-7 (Type A Level 1 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1),
• — test assertions of internal consistency by checking the types of values that may be contained within each field (Type A Level 2 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1), and
• — test assertions on the contents of data records in the signature/sign time series data formats as specified in ISO/IEC 19794-7 (Type A Level 3 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1).

This part of ISO/IEC 29109 does not establish

• — tests of other characteristics of biometric products or other types of testing of biometric products (e.g. acceptance, performance, robustness, security), and
• — tests of conformance of systems that do not produce ISO/IEC 19794-7 records.
