ANSI / NIST ITL-2007 & 2008 Generating & Processing Kit
The ANSI / NIST kit is utilized for Reading, Writing, Editing, and Validation of Data & Biometric Objects in Compliance with ANSI/NIST ITL-1 2007 & 2008 standards. The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (P.L. 104-113) encourages Federal Agencies, as well as state and local governments, to achieve greater reliance on voluntary standards.
“Standards and guidelines for information exchange relating to automatic data processing and related systems” are described in the following documents, which is the ground that our ANSI / NIST kit is based on:
• Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, & Other Biometric Information - Part 1: (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2007)
• Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, & Other Biometric Information - Part 2: XML Version (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2008)
One major use of the standard is for the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System, more commonly known as IAFIS, by U.S. law enforcement (local, state, federal). IAFIS uses the FBI Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification, or EBTS, to define the interface between the IAFIS and other agencies’ systems. Using ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2007, the EBTS specifies the file and record content, format, and data codes necessary for the exchange of biometric identification information between Federal, State and local users and the FBI.
In order to provide governments & entities dealing with governments the necessary tools for following this standard and guarantee interoperability Avalon Biometrics developed the ANSI / NIST Kit. Systems aiming for conformance with the ANSI / NIST standard can implement with this kit the transmitting and/or receiving of all record types defined by the standard with a comprehensive and an easy-to-use SDK to provide global interoperability.
Key Features Multiple Domains
In order to provide the right tool to all system integrators and for all architectures & business logics, Avalon made the ANSI / NIST kit available in the following domains
• Java
• Windows CE & Windows Mobile
• .Net
• XML
Complete Tool Suite
The ANSI / NIST KIT is a complete suite of development tools that enables system integrators to generate, view, edit, and validate data objects and transactions in compliance with the ANSI/NIST ITL-1 2007 & 2008 standard.
Application programming Interface (API)
Proper APIs in the ANSI / NIST kit allow developers to easily develop applications to read, write, edit, view validate the ANSI/ NIST compliant data records.
Compliance & Interoperability
The ANSI / NIST Kit ensures that demographic data is included in the correct format. Images are compressed conform and according to recommendations and that the resulting file is genuine constructed for interoperability with other agencies or other standard-compliant systems.
Validation Engines
Included validation engine that can be used for error-checking and file validation to support the development & integration process.
Complete Type Record Support
The ANSI / NIST Kit supports all record types defined by the standard, inclusive the additions in ITL-2007
• Support for all record types of the standard
• Support of the type 99 record for CBEFF biometrics
• Support for international characters sets through the Unicode UTF8 format
• Support for JPEG2000 compression of 1000 ppi fingerprint images (according to FBI recommendations)
• NIST formatted data can be converted into XML format
ANSI / NIST ITL 2008 XML standard supported as a seperate tool kit, please contact us for details
Documentation & Support
All SDKs are well documented and runtimes made available with source code, test applications and samples
Well Maintained
The ANSI / NIST Kit is maintained whenever new standards emerge such as the ITL-2009, which gets released by ANSI / NIST soon to
provide our clients with updates to support the new standard.
