BioBodies: Biometric Industry Organizations
The Biometric Consortium (BIOM CONS) is the U.S. government's focal point for research, development, testing, evaluation and application of biometric-based personal identification/ verification technology (www.biometrics.org/). The BioAPI Consortium, introduced on April 27, 1998, was formed to develop a widely available and accepted API that will serve various biometric technologies (www.bioapi.org/). The ICSA has founded the CBDC (Commercial Biometric Developer Consortium, www.icsa. net/services/consortia/ cbdc). This cooperative industry group is designed to define and advance the common goals of the biometric vendor and integrator community.
The National Biometric Test Center (NBTC) is at San Jose State University. The Biometric Consortium established the NBTC in 1997 as a testing, learning and educational organization dedicated to the development, documentation, dissemination, promotion and teaching of performance standards and testing protocols for biometric technologies (www-engr.sjsu.edu/~graduate/biometrics/).
