The purpose of this research is to establish Korean standards of best practice and common criteria for testing and evaluating the performance of biometric recognition systems. First of all, research activities in leading countries such as USA, Great Britain and Germany have been studied and analyzed. Then, the standards of best practice and common criteria are proposed in the aspects of sensors, algorithms, and application systems. The results of this work will be utilized fur test and evaluation of commercial biometric products by KISA and provided to private industries for their own evaluation of products.
