Biometric Identity Assurance Services (BIAS) SOAP Profile Version 2.0 Committee Specification 01 and WS-Biometric Devices Version 1.0 Committee Specification 01 are now published and freely available.
The first meeting of the OASIS Biometric Services (BIOSERV) Technical Committee was held via teleconference on 08 July 2015. Kevin Mangold of NIST was elected TC Chair.
Participation in the OASIS BIOSERV TC is open to all interested parties. Contact join@oasis-open.org for more information.
The OASIS BIOSERV TC is chartered to define, enhance, and maintain open standards that facilitate the use of biometrics and biometric operations over a service-oriented architecture, such as web services. TC members recognize that opportunities remain for improving interoperability among biometric-related systems or system components. For example, improving interoperability is a key enabler for making biometrics more viable within multi-factor authentication. Specifications developed by the TC will help bring parity to biometrics as compared to other technologies, such as cryptographic certificate use and management, where web services standards are markedly more mature.
