Bibliography

Describes the functional blocks and components of a generic biometric system, and the distinct characteristics of each component.

This part of ISO/IEC 24713 identifies and defines the functional blocks and components of a generic biometric system, and the distinct characteristics of each component. It also defines a generic biometric reference architecture incorporating the relevant biometric-related base standards to support interoperability and data interchange.
