Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to ISO/IEC 19785-2:2006 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1,
Information technology, Subcommittee SC 37, Biometrics.

Part 2:
Procedures for the operation of the Biometric Registration
Authority
AMENDMENT 1: Additional registrations
Page iv, Foreword, in the list of parts replace:
The following part is under preparation:
⎯ Part 3: Patron Format Specifications
with:
⎯ Part 3: Patron format specifications
⎯ Part 4: Security Block Specifications
Page v, Introduction
Replace the first two paragraphs with the following:
Biometric-based authentication systems and applications are expected to support multiple biometric devices,
multiple biometric data formats, and multiple algorithms for feature extraction, comparison, quality
determination and compression, possibly each from a different vendor. The Common Biometric Exchange
Formats Framework (CBEFF) promotes interoperability of biometric-based application programs and systems
developed by different vendors by facilitating biometric data interchange. This part of ISO/IEC 19785 supports
such exchanges by providing unambiguous identification of biometric organizations, formats and products,
with separate registration of identifiers for components of products that are capture devices, feature extraction
algorithms, comparison algorithms, quality algorithms and compression algorithms.
This part of ISO/IEC 19785 specifies procedures for a Registration Authority that is responsible for the
assignment of ASN.1 object identifier components to identify biometric organizations, CBEFF patrons,
biometric information record formats, biometric data block formats, security block formats, biometric products
capture devices, feature extraction algorithms, comparison algorithms, quality algorithms and compression
algorithms to provide globally unambiguous identification in the context of the CBEFF ASN.1 object identifier.
Page 1, Scope
Replace the text with the following (where changes to existing text are highlighted with a grey background):
This part of ISO/IEC 19785 specifies the procedures to be followed by the Biometric Registration Authority in
preparing, maintaining, and publishing registers of identifiers for biometric organizations, CBEFF patron
formats, BDB formats, security block formats, biometric products, and specialized biometric products.

Delete the following terms from the list:
⎯ biometric sample;
⎯ CBEFF biometric organization identifier;
⎯ CBEFF patron;
⎯ CBEFF patron format;
⎯ security block format identifier.
and add the following terms:
⎯ capture device;
⎯ capture device identifier;
⎯ comparison algorithm;
⎯ comparison algorithm identifier;
⎯ feature extraction algorithm;
⎯ feature extraction algorithm identifier;
⎯ quality algorithm;
⎯ quality algorithm identifier.
Page 2, 3.2
Replace the introductory sentence with the following:
For the purposes of this document, in addition to those terms given in 3.1 the following terms and definitions
apply.
Page 2, after 3.2.5
Insert the following:
3.2.6
specialized biometric product
biometric product which is in one of the categories: capture device, feature extraction algorithm, comparison
algorithm, quality algorithm, or compression algorithm (see the definitions of these terms)
NOTE A specialized biometric product can be registered both as a specialized biometric product of the appropriate
category and also as a (general) biometric product.

Replace the list item with the following:
e) Biometric products (including specialized biometric products) supported by an organization that is a
registered biometric organization.
Page 3, 5.5
Delete the last sentence of the second paragraph: “Arcs identified by CBEFF biometric organization identifiers
do not have arc names.”
Page 4, 5.7
Change the second part of the paragraph (following the arc name) to read as follows (where changes to
existing text are highlighted with a grey background):
and enables publication of a reference to the specification of that BIR format (CBEFF patron format). The
is either the decimal value of the sixteen-bit CBEFF patron identifier of the definer of the
CBEFF patron format, or is an arc identifier followed by the decimal value in parentheses. The allocated object
identifier value is worldwide unambiguous, but the BIR format identifier can also be used alone in contexts
where the preceding arcs are implied.
