Announcements

In "New OASIS Standard to Build Biometric Security Wonderwall", FindBiometrics says IBOPS is "a timely effort in the wake of recent high-profile breaches, and a general shift of sensitive information such as financial data into the online world."

A press release, OASIS Forms IBOPS Committee to Advance Server-Based Biometric Identity Standard, was issued 6 Nov 2014.

The first meeting of the OASIS Identity Based Attestation and Open Exchange Protocol Specification (IBOPS) Technical Committee was held as a face-to-face on September 23, 2014, 9:30 AM to 05:30 PM local time in Geneva, Switzerland (Place des Nations 1211, Geneva 20, Switzerland). Abbie Barbir and Scott Streit were elected TC co-chairs.

Participation in the OASIS IBOPS TC is open to all interested parties. Contact join@oasis-open.org for more information.


Overview

The OASIS IBOPS TC is chartered to produce an end-to-end specification describing the standards necessary to perform server-based enhanced biometric security. This solution will consider enrollment phase, maintenance, storage, and revocation. IBOPS will define how software running on a client device can communicate with an IBOPS-enabled server. The IBOPS specification will provide continuous protection of identity resources in a manner that enables defining of mechanisms that ensure security to a given service level guarantee of security.

The IBOPS TC may also develop interoperability profiles for the OASIS Trust Elevation Protocol, FIDO, SAML, OpenID Connect, and OAuth.
