Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
Standardised biometric data formats enable interoperability and exchanging system components like biometric capture devices, algorithms, storage systems. This is of relevance for SMEs who typically provide only a single component rather than an entire solution like industry leading large corporations – which sometimes may rely on proprietary data formats.

Biometric user authentication is present in many applications, including not only smartphone usage but also banking, national ID, healthcare and border management. Citizens in Europe and beyond benefit from the use of open standards in civil and governmental applications allowing transparency, privacy and guaranteed level of service.

Technology for Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) has advanced significantly since the first publication of the ISO/IEC 17839 series from 2014-2016. This made an amendment of part 2 necessary in 2021 and a revision started 2022/2023. The major gaps are that the currently published standards partially refer to outdated technology and do not cover many recent industry developments in the field of BSoC. This includes enrolment methodologies, sensor and card manufacturing, but also processes and usage of biometric cards. The priority is to consider all inputs from national bodies, come to a consensus and progress the standard series according to the ISO business plan. Challenges are divers inputs from industry delegates targeting different solutions. It is important to include all contributions from national bodies while keeping the timeline mandated by the ISO business plan.
