What is ISO/IEC TS 19795-9 - Biometric performance testing and reporting about?
ISO/IEC TS 19795-9 provides guidance for performance testing of biometrics when this technology is used on mobile devices with local biometric authentication to improve authentication assurance.
ISO/IEC TS 19795-9 aims to:
- Provide guidance for affordable and cost-efficient testing and reporting methods for performance assessment at a full system level of biometric systems embedded in mobile devices with an offline evaluation of false accept rate (FAR) claims.
- Define modality-specific considerations of these methods.
ISO/IEC TS 19795-9 is applicable to:
- Verification use cases related to secure transactions.
Who is ISO/IEC TS 19795-9 - Biometric performance testing and reporting for?
ISO/IEC TS 19795-9 on Information technology is useful for:
- IT Companies
- Biometric device manufacturing companies
- Healthcare department
Why should you use ISO/IEC TS 19795-9 - Biometric performance testing and reporting?
One way to certify the user’s identity is to implement biometric authentication ability in the device.
It is then important to properly evaluate the accuracy of biometric authentication to ensure that security is strong enough to allow mobile sensible transactions. Several biometric modalities are widely utilized in consumer-focused mobile devices. Evaluation of biometric performance for all these modalities should be consistent and follow the same guidelines, methodologies, and requirements. Nevertheless, some modality-specific considerations should also be addressed when conducting an evaluation.
ISO/IEC TS 19795-9 provides a general framework usable for all modalities as well as dedicated recommendations when needed.
