Phillips, PFT Format[610K]Summary of NIST Standards for Biometric Accuracy, Tamper Resistance, and Interoperability.This is Appendix A from "Use of Technology Standards and Interoperable Databases With Machine-Readable, Tamper-Resistant Travel Documents," which is a joint report to Congress from Department of Justice, Department of State, and National Institute of Standards and Technology.*This report was the latest data available on **November 13, 2002** when the report was prepared. Since that time, NIST has determined that the fingerprint system used was not as accurate as current state-of-the-art fingerprint systems and is approximately equivalent to commercial fingerprint systems available in 1998.* **NIST Appendix A***[408K]*Facial Recognition Vendor Test 2002 Results:Overview and Summary [544KB]Evaluation Report [4.0MB]Technical Appendices [7.2MB]Supplemental Report [1,742KB] - This report is intended to supplement the primary FRVT 2002 reports and to be relevant to more specialized audiences, particularly standards makers, policy makers, and developers in face recognition and other biometric fields including fusion.Test Data for Fingerprints and FaceA listing of NIST Special Databases containing fingerprint and face data.
