This standard was created jointly between ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27 and ITU-T. The public scope of this standard reads as: "To prove ownership of an ITU-T X.509 certificate registered individually with the registration authority (RA), a biometric hardware security module has been considered to provide a high-level biometric authentication. ISO/IEC 17922:2017 provides a framework for telebiometric authentication using BHSM. Within the scope of ISO/IEC 17922:2017, the following issues are addressed: - telebiometric authentication mechanisms using BHSM in telecommunication network environments; and - abstract syntax notation one (ASN.1) format and protocols for implementing the mechanisms in the ITU‑T X.509 framework." This standard describes a telebiometric authentication scheme using a biometric hardware security module (BHSM). It also provides the requirements for deploying a BHSM scheme to provide secure telebiometric authentication within a PKI. From the implementation point of view, the standard also provides ASN.1 definitions that allow the biometric authentication to be incorporated into an ITU-T X.509 framework. The content of the standard starts with the definition of the additional features present in a BHSM, compared to a regular HSM. Then, it explains the general scenario for using a BHSM and in particular, its use in telebiometric authentication. Once the BHSM is explained, the standard focusses on detailing both processes involved during a telebiometric authentication using a BHSM: enrolment and authentication. Finally, the link to X.509 certificates is explained.
