Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 11: Signature/sign processed dynamic data

Note: The ICS code of this Notice of Intent (originally published on October 16, 2024) was updated by the responsible SDO on November 5, 2024.

For the purpose of biometric comparison, this part of ISO/IEC 19794 specifies a data interchange format for processed signature/sign behavioural data extracted from a time series, captured using devices such as digitizing tablets, pen-based computing devices, or advanced pen systems.

The data interchange format is generic, in that it may be applied and used in a wide range of application areas where handwritten signs or signature/signs are involved. No application-specific requirements or features are addressed in this part of ISO/IEC 19794.

This part of ISO/IEC 19794 contains definitions of relevant terms, a description of what data is extracted, and a data format for containing the data, together with advice on whether a set of user's signature/sign is suitable for identification purposes using this part of ISO/IEC 19794.

It is advisable that stored and transmitted biometric data is time-stamped and that cryptographic techniques be used to protect their authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality; however, such provisions are beyond the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 19794.
