This concept standard will define a common set of secure XML encodings for the patron formats specified in CBEFF, the Common Biometric Exchange File Format (NISTIR 6529). These XML encodings will be based on the ASN.1 schema defined in ANS X9.84 Biometrics Information Management and Security. They will conform to the canonical variant of the XML Encoding Rules (XER) for ASN.1 defined in ITU-T Rec X.693, and will rely on the security and processing requirements specified in X9.96 XML Cryptographic Message Sytax (XCMS). This standard will assist in efficient, accurate identification of subjects by using precise, standardized, common set of secure XML encodings for the patron formats specified in the Common Biometric Exchange File Format.

Other Standards: This work builds on the ASN.1 schema defined in ANS X9.84 Biometrics Information Management and Security. The work also conforms to the canonical variant of the XML Encoding Rules (XER) for ASN.1 defined in ITU-T Rec. X.693, and will rely on the security & processing requirements specified in X9.96 XML Cryptographic Message Syntax (XCMS).
