The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendation

12、s on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval

13、of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“

14、is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance wi

15、th the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is requir

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectu

22、y countermeasures for telebiometrics and tele-multibiometrics protection procedures. This Recommendation defines the vulnerabilities and threats in operating telebiometric and tele-multibiometric systems, and proposes a general guideline for security countermeasures, from both the technical and mana

23、gerial perspectives, in order to establish a safe environment for the use of telebiometric systems and the protection of individual privacy. In particular, this Recommendation focuses on the vulnerabilities and countermeasures in the process of combining multibiometrics data or information by four d

24、ifferent fusion schemes: sample-level, feature-level, score-level, and decision-level. This Recommendation describes countermeasures that allow the protection of biometric devices as related to their installation, removal, and delivery. Countermeasures are proposed for the protection of biometric sy

25、stems as related to their operational procedures, as well as the roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in system design. It is expected that the proposed countermeasures will ensure the security and reliability of the flow of single and multiple biometric information in a telecommunicatio

27、endation ITU-T X.1086 proposes a general guideline for security countermeasures, from both a technical and a managerial perspective, which would enable the protection of single and multiple biometric systems against various threats (e.g., hijacking, modification, illegal access, etc.) in the entire

28、operation of telebiometrics, from the creation to the disposal of multibiometric data or information. Furthermore, this Recommendation describes the vulnerabilities and proposes 2 Rec.

40、king technological protection measures for biometric data is to accurately identify the target and the purpose requiring protection. The second step is to establish biometric data policies. In order to reflect technological protection measures in protection policies, it is essential that technical s

41、taff who fully understand and implement the proposed policies, and decision-makers who have the authorization to execute these policies, participate in the process and work together effectively. When a biometric system is installed with the mechanism for protecting the biometric system, an authorize

42、d data auditor is designated to supervise the auditing process in order to make sure that the biometric system is under operation following the protection policies. One or more sub-processes are executed in a biometric processing unit, and one or more biometric processing units become the biometric

43、verification process. A biometric processing unit is the abstract concept of a security domain, such as a sensor, a smart card, a storage device, or software running on a personal computer. Appendix II describes the functions of five sub-processes in biometric-verification process models. Figure 1 d

45、e biometric component through a network in the biometric-verification process model (see Appendix II). In this model, each component sends processed biometric data to the next component (see clause 5.1 of ISO/IEC 24761). Compared to a general biometric functional model, in a telebiometric functional

46、 model, processed biometric data can be transmitted among components through telecommunications media, denoted as NW in Figure 2. Figure 2 shows that not only each component in the model, but also transmission among components, are vulnerable to outside attacks. Examples of outside attacks are the i
