CBP CBP Biometric Standards and Specifications 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which ISO/IEC standard defines the Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (CBEFF)?
- ISO/IEC 19785 (Correct answer)
- ISO/IEC 19794
- ISO/IEC 29794
- ISO/IEC 30107
Correct answer: ISO/IEC 19785
ISO/IEC 19785 defines the Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (CBEFF), which specifies structures for biometric data.
Question 2: What does the ISO/IEC 19794 series of standards primarily address?
- Biometric testing methodologies
- Biometric data interchange formats (Correct answer)
- Access control system architecture
- Privacy impact assessment procedures
Correct answer: Biometric data interchange formats
ISO/IEC 19794 is the series of standards defining biometric data interchange formats for fingerprint, face, iris, and other modalities.
Question 3: Which NIST standard specifies the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card and biometric requirements for US federal employees?
- FIPS 140-2
- FIPS 201 (Correct answer)
- SP 800-76
- SP 800-53
Correct answer: FIPS 201
FIPS 201 (Federal Information Processing Standard 201) specifies the PIV system, including biometric requirements for US federal employees.
Question 4: NIST SP 800-76 provides technical specifications for which component of the PIV system?
- Cryptographic algorithms
- Biometric specifications (Correct answer)
- Network architecture
- Card physical dimensions
Correct answer: Biometric specifications
NIST SP 800-76 provides the biometric specifications for the PIV system, including fingerprint, facial image, and iris data requirements.
Question 5: What is the purpose of ISO/IEC 30107 in the biometrics domain?
- Defining biometric vocabulary
- Presentation attack detection (liveness testing) (Correct answer)
- Specifying fingerprint minutiae encoding
- Establishing cross-border data transfer rules
Correct answer: Presentation attack detection (liveness testing)
ISO/IEC 30107 covers presentation attack detection (PAD), defining methods and metrics for detecting spoofing or liveness attacks on biometric systems.
Question 6: Which standard defines the vocabulary and definitions used across biometric standards documents?
- ISO/IEC 2382-37 (Correct answer)
- ISO/IEC 19785
- ANSI/NIST ITL 1-2011
- ISO/IEC 29794-1
Correct answer: ISO/IEC 2382-37
ISO/IEC 2382-37 defines the vocabulary for biometrics, providing standardized terminology used throughout the biometric standards ecosystem.
