ISO/IEC 30108-1:2015 |
|---|---|
| SCOPE | ISO/IEC 30108-1:2015 defines the architecture, operations, data elements, and basic requirements for biometric identity assurance services, a framework for the implementation of generic, biometric-based identity services within a services-oriented environment. An identity in the context of BIAS comprises a subject, biographic data, and biometric data. Other parts are intended to define specific BIAS implementations (or bindings) within specific environments, for example, SOAP web services. |

In some cases, when developing a biometric-based solution, not only local applications are needed, but remote connection between devices. Typical implementations use client-server architectures, and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 37 decided to define a standard to allow an interoperable way of implementing this kind of solutions, using BioAPI (ISO/IEC 19784-1). Such standard is ISO/IEC 24708, titled "BioAPI Interworking Protocol" (BIP), and published in 2008. But client-server technologies have evolved hugely making BIP outdated. Nowadays is more frequent to talk about web-service based solutions, and in order to address this need, BIAS (i.e., Biometric Identity Assurance Services) was originally created by OASIS, and later on becoming ISO/IEC 30108-1. This first part of BIAS was developed as an XML-based specification for allowing the exchange of identity information (including also non-biometric data) in Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). It was intentionally created as implementation independent, although it gets pretty close to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), the Microsoft approach to web services. But recently, many applications prefer to use REST (i.e., Representational State Transfer), due to being simpler and lighter. Therefore, SC 37 decided to start ISO/IEC 30108-2 for the specification of BIAS in accordance to a REST-based implementation.
