本文件定义: -用于生物识别信息记录(BIR)的结构和数据元素； -建立符合CBEFF要求的标准或规范的适用性的使用领域的概念； -CBEFF顾客格式的概念，其是由CBEFF顾客指定的符合CBEFF要求的公布的BIR格式规范； -将在CBEFF顾客格式的定义中使用的一组CBEFF数据元素的抽象值和相关联的语义； 本文档描述了使用CBEFF数据元素来定义CBEFF顾客格式的方法，以指定BIRs的结构，包括标准生物识别报头（SBHs）。 本文件还提供了在BIR中识别BDB格式的手段，但是BDB格式的标准化和互操作性不在本文件的范围内。本文档提供了安全块(SB)作为BIRs携带关于BIR中的BDB的加密以及关于应用于BIR本身的完整性机制的信息的手段。SBs的结构和内容不在本文档的范围内。此外，用于BDB的加密机制和用于BIR的完整性机制的规范不在本文档的范围内。 本文档指定了从一种CBEFF顾客格式到不同CBEFF顾客格式的转换。 以下内容不在本文档范围内: -将在CBEFF顾客格式的规范中使用的CBEFF数据元素的抽象值的编码；和 -保护个人隐私不被不当传播和使用生物特征数据。

This document defines:
- structures and data elements for biometric information records (BIRs);
- the concept of a domain of use to establish the applicability of a standard or specification that conforms with CBEFF requirements;
- the concept of a CBEFF patron format, which is a published BIR format specification that complies with CBEFF requirements, specified by a CBEFF patron;
- the abstract values and associated semantics of a set of CBEFF data elements to be used in the definition of CBEFF patron formats;
This document describes methods to define CBEFF patron formats using CBEFF data elements to specify the structure of BIRs, including the standard biometric headers (SBHs).
This document also provides the means for identification of BDB formats in a BIR, but the standardization and interoperability of BDB formats is not within the scope of this document. This document provides a security block (SB) as a means for BIRs to carry information about the encryption of a BDB in the BIR and about integrity mechanisms applied to the BIR itself. The structure and content of SBs is not within the scope of this document. Further, the specification of encryption mechanisms for BDBs and of integrity mechanisms for BIRs is not within the scope of this document.
This document specifies transformations from one CBEFF patron format to a different CBEFF patron format.
The following are not within the scope of this document:
- the encoding of the abstract values of CBEFF data elements to be used in the specification of CBEFF patron formats; and
- protection of the privacy of individuals from inappropriate dissemination and use of biometric data.
