For the purposes of biometric verification and/or identification, this part of ISO/IEC 19794 specifies a concept
and data interchange formats for dynamic signature/sign behavioural data captured in the form of a time
series using devices such as digitizing tablets or advanced pen systems. The data interchange formats are
generic in that they may be applied and used in a wide range of application areas where handwritten signs or
signatures are involved. No application-specific requirements or features are addressed in this part of
ISO/IEC 19794. This part of ISO/IEC 19794 contains definitions of relevant terms, a description of what data is
captured, two data formats for containing the data — one for general use and one compact format for use with
smart cards and other tokens — alongside examples of data block contents and best practice in capture.
Specifying which of the format types and which options defined in this part of ISO/IEC 19794 are to be applied
in a particular application is out of the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 19794; this needs to be defined in
application-specific requirements specifications or application profiles. It is advisable that stored and
transmitted biometric data be time-stamped and that cryptographic techniques be used to protect their
authenticity, integrity and confidentiality; however such provisions are beyond the scope of this part of
ISO/IEC 19794.
