NIST recently announced the Contactless Fingerprint Capture Device Measurement Research Program after decades of biometric testing. In 2013, it released the final version of a standard that identifies biometric specifications for personal identity verification. To date, these standards and guidelines only covered contact-based fingerprint capture methods.
This year, NIST will release guidelines for Contactless Fingerprint Capture, based on a seven-company, three-year cooperative research and development agreement. NIST will also release an update of its Cybersecurity Framework to help organizations better manage their cybersecurity risks. The overall framework builds upon NIST’s development of methodologies for measuring the image fidelity of contactless fingerprint capture devices. This is important for companies that develop biometric technology or plan to deploy touchless fingerprint technology into their devices.
