ANSI/NIST

ANSI/NIST refers to a set of standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for biometric data exchange and security. These standards ensure that fingerprint, facial, and other biometric information can be accurately and consistently shared between different systems, agencies, and organizations. They specify formats, protocols, and procedures to maintain data integrity, privacy, and interoperability. Essentially, ANSI/NIST provides a common language and framework that helps law enforcement, security agencies, and industries reliably use biometric data for identification and verification purposes.
