ISO/IEC TS 19795-9:2019

CORRECTED VERSION 2026-01

This document provides guidance for performance testing of biometrics when this technology is used on mobile devices with local biometric authentication to improve authentication assurance.

This document aims to:

— Provide guidance for affordable and cost-efficient testing and reporting methods for performance assessment at a full system level of biometric systems embedded in mobile devices with offline evaluation of false accept rate (FAR) claims.

— Define modality-specific considerations of these methods.

This document is applicable to:

— verification use cases related to secure transactions.

This document is not applicable to:

— privacy aspects;

— secure authentication from mobile device to server;

— testing and reporting for presentation attack detection (PAD) mechanisms in mobile devices;

— performance testing of biometric sub-systems such as acquisition sub-system or comparison sub-system;

— continuous authentication.
