  1. The ANSI/NIST ITL 1-2011 standard (and its updates) defines data formats for which application?

    Answer: Fingerprint, facial, and other biometric data interchange for criminal justice

    ANSI/NIST ITL 1-2011 defines data format standards for the interchange of fingerprint, facial, and other biometric data primarily for criminal justice applications.

  2. What does the term 'BIR' stand for in the context of CBEFF (ISO/IEC 19785)?

    Answer: Biometric Information Record

    BIR stands for Biometric Information Record, the data structure defined by CBEFF that contains biometric data along with associated metadata.

  3. Which ICAO document governs biometric data specifications for machine-readable travel documents (MRTDs) such as e-passports?

    Answer: ICAO Doc 9303

    ICAO Doc 9303 governs machine-readable travel documents, including the biometric data (facial image, fingerprints, iris) stored on e-passport chips.

  4. ISO/IEC 29794 defines standards for what aspect of biometrics?

    Answer: Biometric sample quality

    ISO/IEC 29794 is the series that defines biometric sample quality metrics and measures for various modalities including fingerprint and face.

  5. In US federal biometric standards, which document specifies the image quality specifications for fingerprint images on PIV cards?

    Answer: NIST SP 800-76-2

    NIST SP 800-76-2 provides the biometric specifications for PIV, including fingerprint image quality requirements and encoding specifications.

  6. What encoding format is mandated by ICAO for the primary biometric (facial image) stored in e-passports?

    Answer: JPEG2000 or JPEG

    ICAO mandates JPEG or JPEG2000 encoding for facial images stored on e-passport chips, with JPEG2000 preferred for better compression.
