Scope of standard

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the
syntax, semantics, and encodings of a set of messages ("BIP
messages") that enable a BioAPI-conforming application to request
biometric operations in BioAPIconforming biometric service
providers (BSPs) across node or process boundaries, and to be
notified of events originating in those remote BSPs.

NOTE - Both the local and the remote node or process can contain
BSPs that provide storage and retrieval of biometric information
records, processing or comparison of such records, or capture of
biometric samples from one or more biometric sensors. It is
possible for an individual node or process to contain both (one or
more) applications that access remote BSPs, and (one or more) BSPs
that are accessed by remote applications.

This Recommendation | International Standard also specifies
extensions to the architecture and behaviour of the BioAPI
framework that support the creation, processing, sending, and
reception of BIP messages. A BioAPI framework conforming to this
Recommendation | International Standard (a "BIP-enabled framework")
creates, processes, sends, and receives BIP messages in close
relationship with BioAPI function calls and callbacks. Outgoing BIP
messages can be generated and sent by the framework as part of the
handling of an incoming call or callback. Incoming BIP messages can
cause actions to be performed by the framework as though a call or
callback has been received.

This Recommendation | International Standard explicitly allows
for BIP messages to be created, processed, sent, and received by a
software entity (a "generic BIP entity") that is not necessarily a
BIP-enabled framework.

NOTE - This makes it possible to create lightweight
implementations of this Recommendation | International Standard in
which support for BioAPI-conforming applications or
BioAPI-conforming BSPs is either not possible or not required.
There is no externally observable difference between the BIP
messages created and sent by a generic BIP entity and those created
and sent by a BIP-enabled framework. However, while a BIP-enabled
framework is required to fully and properly implement the
relationship specified herein between BIP messages and BioAPI
function calls or callbacks, a generic BIP entity has no such
obligation (see clause 6).

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the use
of any of several commonly available transport protocols for the
transfer of BIP messages between a pair of software entities ("BIP
endpoints"). 

Standardization of biometric data blocks (carrying raw,
intermediate, or processed biometric samples) is not in the scope
of this Recommendation | International Standard. NOTE -
Standardization of such formats is performed by the various parts
of ISO/IEC 19794. 

Standardization of biometric information records (each
containing one or more biometric data blocks together with
identifying and other meta-information) is not in the scope of this
Recommendation | International Standard.

NOTE - Standardization of the elements of such formats is
performed by ISO/IEC 19785-1, which also contains the specification
of a number of standardized biometric information record
formats. 

Comparison algorithms for biometric identification or
verification are not in the scope of this Recommendation |
International Standard. 

The definition of security mechanisms is not in the scope of
this Recommendation | International Standard, but a number of
bindings to secure transport protocols are specified in order to
support secure exchanges between BIP endpoints. 

The classification of, determination of, or requirements on the
performance of biometric systems is not in the scope of this
Recommendation | International Standard. 

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies a Version
1 of the BioAPI interworking protocol (BIP), and assigns it the
ASN.1 object identifier value {iso standard 24708 version (1)} (see
ITU-T Rec. X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1 for the meaning of this
notation). 

ISO/IEC 19784-1 specifies version 2.0 and 2.1 of BioAPI. This
Recommendation | International Standard provides support for only
version 2.1.
