Overview

ISO/IEC 19794-8:2006/Cor 1:2011 is a technical corrigendum to the international standard ISO/IEC 19794-8:2006, which specifies biometric data interchange formats focused on finger pattern skeletal data. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this corrigendum provides important clarifications and corrections to ensure accuracy in biometric template formatting and interoperability.

The document is part of the ISO/IEC 19794 series addressing various biometric data interchange formats, supporting seamless and standardized sharing of biometric information across diverse technology platforms. This correction was prepared under the Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Subcommittee SC 37, which specializes in biometrics.

Key Topics

• IBIA Registered Format Owner ID Update
  The corrigendum corrects the format owner identifier for finger pattern skeletal data to “0101” Hex, equivalent to decimal 257. This unique identifier is essential for proper recognition and validation of biometric templates within systems.

• Format Type Codes
  Updated format type codes are specified for various skeletal data record formats, crucial for categorizing and handling data correctly:

  • 0011 Hex (17 Decimal): Finger pattern skeletal data record format
  • 0012 Hex (18 Decimal): Finger pattern skeletal data card format – normal size
  • 0013 Hex (19 Decimal): Finger pattern skeletal data card format – compact size

• Footnote Removal and Table Replacement
  The corrigendum deletes an outdated footnote and replaces Table 10 with the corrected version listing the format types and their meanings, enhancing clarity and reducing ambiguities in data interchange.

Applications

This technical corrigendum ensures that organizations working with biometric finger pattern skeletal data maintain compliance with internationally recognized standards, improving:

• Interoperability between biometric systems
  Standardized format owner IDs and format types enable diverse systems to share and interpret biometric data reliably.

• Accuracy in biometric data exchange
  Precise definitions of data record and card formats ensure that biometric templates remain consistent and valid when transferred between devices or applications.

• Security and authentication systems
  Finger pattern skeletal data is a vital biometric modality used in identity verification, border control, and law enforcement, making adherence to corrected standards critical for system developers and operators.

• Biometric product development
  Manufacturers of biometric scanners, enrollment software, and database applications rely on these standardized formats to design compatible and robust fingerprint data handling components.

Related Standards

ISO/IEC 19794-8:2006/Cor 1:2011 complements and works alongside other standards in the ISO/IEC 19794 series, including:

• ISO/IEC 19794-2 – Finger minutiae data interchange format
• ISO/IEC 19794-4 – Finger image data format
• ISO/IEC 19794-1 – Framework for biometric data interchange formats

Additionally, this corrigendum ties into broader ISO/IEC 24745 for biometric information protection and ISO/IEC 30107 relating to biometric presentation attack detection.

---

By applying the corrections introduced in ISO/IEC 19794-8:2006/Cor 1:2011, industries leveraging biometric fingerprint skeletal data ensure higher data integrity, system compatibility, and global interoperability-keys to advancing secure and efficient biometric identification technologies worldwide.
