BioCTS for ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011

January 2013

BioCTS for ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 (AN-2011) is designed to test AN-2011 transactions for conformance to the AN-2011 standard. Conformance testing is performed for the following selected record types:

Type 1, Transaction Information Record
Type 4, High-resolution grayscale fingerprint image
Type 10, Facial and SMT image
Type 13, Variable-resolution latent image
Type 14, Variable-resolution fingerprint image
Type 15, Palm print image
Type 17, Iris image

For transactions that include record types other than those listed above, the presence of the records is reported (including record length), but no conformance testing is performed.
