Scope:

1 Scope (there is a diagram that's part of the scope that isn't attached) To prove ownership of an ITU-T X.509 certificate registered individually with the registration authority (RA), a biometric hardware security module has been considered to provide a high-level biometric authentication. This Recommendation | International Standard provides a framework for telebiometric authentication using BHSM.

Within the scope of this Recommendation | International Standard, the following issues are addressed:

–telebiometric authentication mechanisms using BHSM in telecommunication network environments; and –abstract syntax notation one (ASN.1) format and protocols for implementing the mechanisms in theITU-T X.509 framework.

The related standard environment is depicted in Figure 1. The main role of this Recommendation | International Standard is to harmonize with existing telebiometric authentication and public key infrastructure (PKI) standards and to establishenvironment.

NOTE – In this Recommendation | International Standard, ITU-T X.509 certificate means ITU-T X.509 public-key certificate.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard
