Explain Ways Biometric Standards Instill Confidentiality.

BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION STANDARDS
There is growing need for comprehensive infrastructure protection and personal identity of individuals’ security, through use of efficient biometric authentication standards. The paper will explain if biometric authentication standards do exist and are they strong enough to instill biometric authentication mechanism confidence.
How Biometric Standards Exists and Enforced
To ensure scalability, interoperability, reliability, usability, and security of identify and infrastructure a set of systematic procedures needs to be adhered, which refer to as biometric standards (Ryan, N. 2009, 7). Biometric authentication standards exist in the real world (Rosenberg, K. 2013, 10). There is existence of international identify documents that are biometric-based, these include, ID cards, electronic passports and visas (Tilton, C. 2009). The documents allow international standards development, where they ensure personal identity and infrastructure security of point of entries in different countries i.e. airports, seaports, and bounder entries stations. Government authorities have enforced robust biometric standards through deploying strict measures of non-proprietorship in the issuing applications for cross-border.
Ways Biometric Standards Instill Confidentiality
In the international and national systems, biometric standards need to be strong to instill confidentiality from individual and governments concerning the biometric authentication mechanisms (Ryan, N., 2009, 8). Key players involved the developments of robust biometric standards are robust include industry consortia players, ISO group, which is part of Standards development Organizations (SDO), and NIST. ISO have standardized biometric standards through developing legislative mandates to maintain secure standards and to offer economic benefits (ISO, 2002).
According to ISO (2002), a Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1), occurring at ISO/IEC, publishes international standards of biometrics. The committee provides IT techniques standards, which involve securing algorithm, protecting of template and evaluation of security (ISO, 2002). Additionally, ISO group publishes identification of cards and personal identify biometric international standards (ISO, 2002). According to Rosenberg, K. (2013, 19), NIST has organized meetings to discuss the advancement of biometric technologies and NIST-2011biometric standards, which involves use of NIEM 3.0.
In conclusion, authentication standards of biometric do exist, mostly applied in international travelling though use of visas and ID cards. NIST and ISO group meetings have advanced biometric standards, though robust technologies, which has instilled confidence in biometric mechanisms for governments, institutions, and individuals.
