1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose/Scope

3
4
5
6
7
8

This Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) Biometric Identity
Assurance Services (BIAS) profile specifies how to use the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) [XML10]
defined in ANSI INCITS 442-2008 Biometric Identity Assurance Services [INCITS-BIAS] to invoke
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) -based services that implement BIAS operations. These SOAPbased services enable an application to invoke biometric identity assurance operations remotely in a
Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) infrastructure.

9
10
11

Not included in the scope of BIAS is the incorporation of biometric authentication as an integral
component of an authentication or security protocol. (However, BIAS services may be leveraged to
implement biometric authentication in the future.)

12

1.2 Overview

13

In addition to this introduction, this standard includes the following:

14
15

Clause 2 presents the design concepts and architecture for invoking SOAP-based services that
implement BIAS operations.

16
17

Clause 3 presents the namespaces necessary to implement this profile, INCITS BIAS data
elements, and identifies relationships to external data definitions.

18

Clause 4 specifies the content of the BIAS messages.

19
20

Clause 5 presents the BIAS message structure, as well as rules and considerations for its
application.

21

Clause 6 presents information on error handling.

22

Clause 7specifies conformance requirements.

23
24

Annexes include the OASIS BIAS XML schema/sample Web Service Definition Language
(WSDL), use cases, sample code, acknowledgements, and the revision history of this profile.

25

1.3 Background

32
33
34
35

In late 2005/early 2006, a gap was identified in the existing biometric standards portfolio with respect to
biometric services. The Biometric Identity Assurance Services standard proposal was for a collaborative
effort between government and private industry to provide a services-based framework for delivering
identity assurance capabilities, allowing for platform and application independence. This standard
proposal required the attention of two major technical disciplines: biometrics and service architectures.
The expertise of both disciplines was required to ensure the standard was technically sound, market
relevant, and achieved widespread adoption. The International Committee for Information Technology
Standards (INCITS) M1 provided the standards leadership relevant to biometrics, defining the taxonomy
of biometric operations and data elements. OASIS provided the standards leadership relevant to service
architectures with an initial focus on web services, defining the schema and SOAP messaging.

36
37
38
39
40

The driving requirements of the BIAS standard proposal were to provide the ability to remotely invoke
biometric operations across an SOA infrastructure; to provide business level operations without
constraining the application/business logic that implements those operations; to be as generic as possible
technology, framework, & application domain independent; and to provide basic capabilities that can be
used to construct higher level, aggregate/composite operations.

41

1.4 Relationship to Other Standards

42
43

This OASIS BIAS profile comprises a companion standard to ANSI INCITS 442-2008 Biometric Identity
Assurance Services, which defines the BIAS requirements and taxonomy, specifying the identity

44
45
46

assurance operations and the associated data elements. This OASIS BIAS profile specifies the design
concepts and architecture, data model and data dictionary, message structure and rules, and error
handling necessary to invoke SOAP-based services that implement BIAS operations.

47
48
49

Together, the BIAS standard and the BIAS profile provide an open framework for deploying and remotely
invoking biometric-based identity assurance capabilities that can be readily accessed across an SOA
infrastructure.

50
51
52
53

This relationship allows the leveraging of the biometrics and web services expertise of the two standards
development organizations. Existing standards are available in both domains and many of these
standards will provide the foundation and underlying capabilities upon which the biometric services
depend.

54

1.5 Terminology

55
56
57

The key words MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD
NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL in this document are to be interpreted as described

2 Design Concepts and Architecture (non-normative)

208

2.1 Philosophy

209
210
211

Rather than define a totally new and unique messaging protocol for biometric services, this specification
instead defines a method for using existing biometric and Web services standards to exchange biometric
data and perform biometric operations.

212

2.2 Context

213
214
215
216
217
218

Today, biometric systems are being developed which collect, process, store and match biometric data for
a variety of purposes. In many cases, data and/or capabilities need to be shared between systems or
systems serve a number of different client stakeholders. As architectures move towards services-based
frameworks, access to these biometric databases and services is via a Web services front-end. However,
lack of standardization in this area has led implementers to develop customized services for each
system/application.

219
220
221

BIAS is intended to provide a common, yet flexible, Web services interface that can be used within both
closed and open SOA systems. Figure 1, below, depicts the context in which the BIAS messages will be
implemented.

Figure 1. BIAS Context

227
228
229
230

The clients (requesters) may use standard discovery mechanisms (i.e., UDDI directories) to discover the
BIAS service provider (implementation) or, particularly in closed systems, the URI/IRI and WSDL for the
service provider may be known a priori by the client BIAS application developer.

231

2.3 Architecture

232
233
234
235

BIAS Web services are intended to be used within systems employing a services framework, such as a
services-oriented architecture (SOA) (although implementations are not limited to this environment). As
such, it is recognized that the clients may interact directly with the BIAS service provider or layers may
exist between the client and the service provider, for example as an ESB or other application layer.

236

The BIAS Architecture as shown in Figure 2, in which:

237
238

A Client request to the BIAS Web services may be triggered by a human interaction OR any
proxy system such as an ESB.

20 October 2009
Page 12 of 152

239
240
241
242
243
244

Client sends and receives SOAP messages that conform to the BIAS schemas
The calls to the BIAS Implementation use OASIS Service Interfaces and Bindings (via
WSDL)
The BIAS implementation maps the service call to the appropriate internal API or set of APIs
and returns data according to the service interface.

Note that services are represented as circles.

245

247
248

Figure 2. Representative BIAS Architecture

249
250
251

NOTE: It is possible that BIAS may also be used between the service provider and the managed
resource (e.g., a biometric matcher).

252
253

At the heart of the BIAS messaging protocol are the concepts of BIAS messages and endpoints.

254

BIAS implementation

255
256
257

A BIAS implementation is a software entity that is capable of creating, processing, sending, and receiving
BIAS messages. This standard does not define requirements for the BIAS implementation other than
defining the messages and protocols used by the endpoints.

258

BIAS messages

259
260

A BIAS message is a one that can be sent from a BIAS endpoint to another BIAS endpoint over a TCP/IP
link.

261

BIAS endpoints
Biasprofile-1.0-cd-01
Copyright OASIS Open 2009. All Rights Reserved.

20 October 2009
Page 13 of 152

262
263

A BIAS endpoint is a runtime entity, uniquely identified and accessed by an endpoint URI/IRI [URI] [IRI],
capable of sending and receiving BIAS messages.

264
265
266

Note that when not publicly and directly exposed, the endpoints for purposes of this specification are the
BIAS service provider exposing BIAS services and the component that directly interacts with that service
provider, e.g., the business application or ESB, rather than the ultimate end client requester.

3 Data dictionary

268
269
270
271
272

This section describes the BIAS data elements used within BIAS messages (as defined in Clause 4).
Common data elements are defined for use in one or more operations. These include common data types
or return codes. BIAS data elements are defined in ANSI INCITS 442-2008. The elements, complex types
and simple types described for the BIAS messages belong to the following namespace: http://docs.oasisopen.org/bias/ns/bias-1.0/. See Annex A for the XML schema.

273
274

NOTE: Biographic and biometric data included in a native XML format MAY contain elements
referencing external namespaces (e.g., ansi-nist).

275

3.1 Documentation Conventions

276
277
278
279

Each common element has a section describing its content. Likewise, each operation has a section
describing the request and response messages and the associated input and output parameters. The
input and output of each message and the comment elements are detailed in a table as described in the
figure below. Each field that forms part of the message request/response is detailed in the table.

If the IdentifySubject operation is implemented as a synchronous service, the implementing system


immediately processes the request and returns the results in the candidate list. If the IdentifySubject
operation is implemented as an asynchronous service, the implementing system returns a token, which is
an indication that the request is being handled asynchronously. In this case, the
GetIdentifySubjectResults operation is used to poll for the results of the IdentifySubject request.

The SetBiographicData operation associates biographic data to a given subject record. The identity
model of the system determines whether the biographic information should replace any existing
biographic information (person-centric model) or if a new encounter should be created and associated
with the subject (encounter-centric model). For encounter-centric models, the encounter ID MAY be
specified by the caller in order to link biographic and biometric information (assuming biometric
information was previously associated using the SetBiometricData operation). If the encounter ID is
omitted for the encounter-centric model, the operation returns a system-assigned encounter ID.

The SetBiometricData operation associates biometric data to a given subject record. The identity model
of the system determines whether the biometric information should replace any existing biometric
information (person-centric model) or if a new encounter should be created and associated with the
subject (encounter-centric model). For encounter-centric models, the encounter ID MAY be specified by
the caller in order to link biographic and biometric information (assuming biographic information was
previously associated using the SetBiographicData operation). If the encounter ID is omitted for the
encounter-centric model, the operation returns a system-assigned encounter ID.

5 Message structure and rules

693
694
695

BIAS operations and data elements are defined in XML in the INCITS 422 BIAS standard. This OASIS
standard further specifies the full XML schema (see Annex A) and specifies how this XML is packaged
and exchanged as SOAP messages.

696
697
698
699

SOAP 1.1 messages consist of three elements: an envelope, header data, and a message body. BIAS
request-response elements MUST be enclosed within the SOAP message body. The general structure of
the BIAS SOAP message is shown in Figure 4, below. The data model for BIAS is addressed in Section 3
and BIAS messages in Section 4.

700
SOAP Envelope
SOAP Header

SOAP Body

SOAP Payload

BIAS XML Elements

701
702

Figure 4. BIAS SOAP Structure

703
704
705
706

Biometric data, regardless of native format, is carried as a binary structure. As such, options exist on how
this data is carried within the SOAP structure. It can be carried as embedded Base-64 objects or [XOP]
can be used this standard allows for either method (See section 5.3).

707

5.1 Purpose and constraints

708
709
710

This document defines a SOAP profile describing how the XML elements defined in INCITS 442 are to be
used as the payload of a SOAP message and the rules for structuring and exchanging such messages.
Philosophical tenets include:

711

SOAP messages will carry BIAS XML [XML10] payloads.

712

SOAP messages will follow WS-I and will deviate only when absolutely necessary.

713
714

Message structures and interchanges will be kept as simple as possible nice to have
features will be addressed in future revisions.

715

XML schemas will be produced based on INCITS 442.

716

BIAS will support a broad range of application domains.

717

BIAS will allow for a variety of biometric and biographic data formats to be used

718
719

Only the SOAP messaging will be defined no message protocols or client/server agents
will be defined.

Biasprofile-1.0-cd-01

20 October 2009
Page 76 of 152

720

Basic usage/formatting rules (beyond WS-I) will be defined.

721

Existing biometric and Web services standards will be leveraged wherever possible.

722

Sample WSDL and use cases will be provided as an aid in implementation.

723
724

Use of basic SOAP will allow all other compatible WS* standards (and discovery
mechanisms) to be used in conjunction with BIAS messaging.

725
726

BIAS will support both secure (i.e., using existing security mechanisms such as WSSecurity, SAML, etc,) and non-secure implementations.

727
728

Generic biometric operations will be defined use of biometrics within a Web services
authentication protocol is not addressed.

729
730

OASIS namespace rules will be followed, though some external schemas MAY also be
referenced.

731

5.2 Message requirements

732
733
734
735

BIAS SOAP messages MUST conform to [WS-I-Basic] and [WS-I-Bind]. A single BIAS SOAP message
MUST contain only one BIAS service request (or single BIAS service response). Binary components of
BIAS messages are already Base-64 encoded and therefore do not need to be conveyed as SOAP
attachments (though XOP MAY be utilized).

736
737
738
739
740
741

The system model used for BIAS conversations over SOAP is a simple request-response model. BIAS
comprises both synchronous and asynchronous operations, with the majority being of the former type.
Asynchronous operations are implemented through message pairs. That is, there are separate messages
to request the operation and to request the results of the operation. These have been defined for those
operations that are likely to take significant time to complete. For example, an identify operation can be
implemented as either a synchronous or asynchronous service as follows:

742
service provider

client

service provider

client

IdentifySubject ()
Return, CandidateList

IdentifySubject ()
Return, Token

GetIdentifySubjectResults (Token)
Return, CandidateList

743
744

(a) Synchronous Operation

(b) Asynchronous Operation

Figure 5. Example of Synchronous and Asynchronous BIAS Operations

745
746

The basic process for using SOAP for BIAS operations is:

747
748
749
750

1. A system entity acting as a BIAS requester transmits a BIAS request element within the body of a
SOAP message to a system entity acting as a BIAS responder. The BIAS requester MUST NOT
include more than one BIAS request per SOAP message or include any additional XML elements
in the SOAP body.

751
752
753
754
755

2. The BIAS responder MUST return either a BIAS response element within the body of another
SOAP message or generate a SOAP fault. The BIAS responder MUST NOT include more than
one BIAS response per SOAP message or include any additional XML elements in the SOAP
body. If a BIAS responder cannot, for some reason, process a BIAS request, it MUST generate a
SOAP fault. (SOAP 1.1 faults and fault codes are discussed in [SOAP11] section 5.1.)

756
757

3. On receiving a BIAS response in a SOAP message, the BIAS requester MUST NOT send a fault
code or other error messages to the BIAS responder. Since the format for the message
Biasprofile-1.0-cd-01

20 October 2009
Page 77 of 152

758
759

interchange is a simple request-response pattern, adding additional items such as error


conditions would needlessly complicate the protocol.

760
761
762

SOAP 1.1 also defines an optional data encoding system. This system is not used within the BIAS SOAP
binding. This means that BIAS messages can be transported using SOAP without re-encoding from the
standard BIAS schema to one based on the SOAP encoding.

763
764
765
766

NOTE: [SOAP11] references an early draft of the XML Schema specification including an
obsolete namespace. BIAS requesters SHOULD generate SOAP documents referencing only the
final XML schema namespace. BIAS responders MUST be able to process both the XML schema
namespace used in [SOAP11] as well as the final XML schema namespace.

767

5.3 Handling binary data

768
769

BIAS messages frequently contain binary data (e.g., biometric data, scanned identity documents, etc.).
Two methods are provided for dealing with this:

770

Embedded Base64 encoding

771

XOP [XOP]

772

Use of SOAP with Attachments (SWA) is deprecated.

773

5.3.1 Base64 encoding

774
775
776

This method is the default method for including binary data. Binary data is Base64 encoded and included
between the tags in the XML SOAP body for the appropriate data elements. Data elements using this
method are indicated as such in the schema.

777
778

As an example, the CBEFF_BIR_Type includes, as one of the BIR types, BinaryBIR of type
base64binary.

779
780

<xsd:element name="BinaryBIR" type="xs:base64Binary" />

781
782
783
784
785

However, even an XML_BIR as defined within [CBEFF] Part 3, contains a biometric data block (BDB)
which may be entirely binary (most common),
<xs:element name="bdb" type="xs:base64Binary" minOccurs="0"/>

786
787

or contain an element which is binary (e.g., an image within an XML BDB).

788

5.3.2 Use of XOP

789
790
791
792

When XOP is used, the binary content is replaced with a reference (URI) to an attachment (i.e., MIME)
which contains that stripped content via an xop:include. The advantage of this method is overall
message size during transmission since the overhead of the embedded Base64 is not present (since the
MIME attachment contains the native binary format).

793
794
795

Use of XOP is generally transparent to the developer, other than in how they configure their toolset. Most
frameworks support this; however, there is a possibility of mismatch if the transmitter supports and uses
XOP but the receiver does not.

796

5.4 Discovery

797
798
799

BIAS implementers (service providers) MUST provide WSDL [WSDL11] to describe their
implementations. This WSDL MAY or may not be made public via a standard discovery mechanism
(such as UDDI) or other method.

800
801

In addition, it is REQUIRED that the BIAS implementation include the QueryCapabilities operation to
provide dynamic information regarding BIAS capabilities, options, galleries, etc. that are supported.

802

5.5 Identifying operations

803
804
805
806

Receivers of BIAS SOAP messages require a method of easily identifying the operation being requested
(or response being provided). This SHOULD be possible without the receiver needing to infer it from the
sum of the elements provided within the body of the SOAP message. The BIAS SOAP profile allows for
two methods of identifying BIAS operations:

807

Explicit named element in body of the SOAP message

808

Use of WS-Addressing Action element

809

5.5.1 Operation name element

810
811
812
813
814

The BIAS message sender (requester) will include within the body of the BIAS SOAP message an XML
element <BIASOperationName>. The receiver (service provider) can search for this tag within a received
BIAS SOAP message to determine what operation is being requested. There is no requirement related to
the ordering of this element within the message, though it is RECOMMENDED that it be included early in
the message to aid in human readability.

815

An example of this method for the CreateSubject operation is shown below:

816
817

POST /bias HTTP/1.1

818

Host: www.acme.com

819

Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8

820

<tns:SubjectID>123456789</tns:SubjectID>
</tns:Identity>
</tns:CreateSubjectRequest>
</soap:Body>

838

</soap:Envelope>

839

5.5.2 WS-Addressing Action

840
841
842
843
844
845

WS-Addressing [WS-Addr] provides a mechanism for including action information inside any SOAP
message. The information is in the SOAP Header. The WS-Addressing Action element is used to
indicate the intent of the message. The value is a URI/IRI identifying that intent; however, there are no
restrictions on the format or specificity of the URI/IRI nor a requirement that it can be resolved. Adoption
of this option also requires that the WS-Addressing To, ReplyTo, and MessageID elements are
supplied, as they are mandatory elements in a request-reply message pattern as used within BIAS.
Biasprofile-1.0-cd-01
Copyright OASIS Open 2009. All Rights Reserved.

20 October 2009
Page 79 of 152

846
847
848

Response messages would also need to use WS-Addressing, requiring the To (matching the ReplyTo
element in the request), RelatesTo (matching the MessageID element in the request), and
RelationshipType (default value to wsa:Reply) elements.

849
850
851
852
853

Use of WS-Addressing is OPTIONAL in this profile as is this method of using the Action field for this
purpose. However, when BIAS is used within an environment using WS-Addressing, it is
RECOMMENDED that this approach for use of the Action field to carry the BIAS operation name is
employed, either alone or in combination with the BIASOperationName approach described in section
5.4.1.

854

An example for a message request for the CreateSubject operation would look like the following:

855
856

POST /bias HTTP/1.1

857

Host: www.acme.com

858

Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8

859

</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

879
880

5.6 Security

881
882
883
884
885

The end-points that exchange SOAP messages (or handle the contents of the BIAS operations) are
expected to be protected and trusted such that message-level security mechanisms may not be required.
The use of SSL (HTTPS) or VPN technology that provides end-point to end-point security is
RECOMMENDED and MAY be sufficient in some cases. Other mechanisms such as Signed XML or
WSS [WSS] could also be implemented.

886

Unless stated otherwise, the following security statements apply to all BIAS bindings.

887

5.6.1 Use of SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0

888
889

Unless otherwise specified, in any BIAS bindings use of SSL 3.0 [SSL3] or TLS1.0 [RFC2246], servers
MUST authenticate clients using a X.509 v3 certificate [X509]. The client MUST establish server identity
Biasprofile-1.0-cd-01

20 October 2009
Page 80 of 152

890
891

based on contents of the certificate (typically through examination of the certificates subject DN field,
subjectAltName attribute, etc.).

892
893
894

Use of transport level security in the form of SSL or TLS is OPTIONAL but highly RECOMMENDED. Use
of these mechanisms alone may not be sufficient for end-to-end integrity and confidentiality, however
(see 5.5.3 and 5.5.4 below).

895

5.6.2 Data Origin Authentication

896
897
898
899

Authentication of both the BIAS requester and the BIAS responder associated with a message is
OPTIONAL and depends on the environment of use: Authentication mechanisms available at the SOAP
message exchange layer or from the underlying substrate protocol (for example, in many bindings the
SSL/TLS or HTTP protocol) MAY be utilized to provide data origin authentication.

900
901
902

Transport authentication will not meet end-to-end origin authentication requirements in bindings where
the BIAS SOAP message passes through an intermediary in this case, message authentication is
RECOMMENDED.

903

Note that SAML [SAML] MAY be used as the mechanism for parties to authenticate to one another.

904

5.6.3 Message Integrity

905
906
907

Message integrity of both BIAS requests and BIAS responses is OPTIONAL and depends on the
environment of use. The security layer in the underlying substrate protocol or a mechanism at the SOAP
message exchange layer MAY be used to ensure message integrity.

908
909

Transport integrity will not meet end-to-end integrity requirements in bindings where the BIAS SOAP
message passes through an intermediary in this case, message integrity is RECOMMENDED.

910

5.6.4 Message Confidentiality

911
912
913

Message confidentiality of both BIAS requests and BIAS responses is OPTIONAL and depends on the
environment of use. The security layer in the underlying substrate protocol or a mechanism at the SOAP
message exchange layer MAY be used to ensure message confidentiality.

914
915

Transport confidentiality will not meet end-to-end confidentiality requirements in bindings where the BIAS
SOAP message passes through an intermediary.

916
917

NOTE: Biometric and biographic data is likely to contain personal information the confidentiality of
which SHOULD be protected accordingly. See INCITS 442, section 6.3 for further discussion.

918

5.6.5 CBEFF BIR security features

919
920
921
922
923
924
925

Within BIAS, biometric data is transferred within a CBEFF BIR (as defined in ISO/IEC 19785-1). CBEFF
provides for the optional encryption of the Biometric Data Block (BDB) of the BIR and for the integrity of
the entire BIR. If implemented, this is indicated in the BIR header. The BIR structure defines an optional
Security Block which MAY contain a digital signature (or message authentication code), encryption
parameters (e.g., key name, algorithm, etc.), and/or other security related data. Such protections are
associated with an individual BIR and are separate from any other protections provided at the message
level.

926

5.6.6 Security Considerations

927
928
929

Before deployment, each combination of authentication, message integrity, and confidentiality


mechanisms SHOULD be analyzed for vulnerability in the context of the specific protocol exchange and
the deployment environment.

930

Special care should be given to the impact of possible caching on security.

931
932

IETF RFC 2617 [RFC2617] describes possible attacks in the HTTP environment when basic or message
digest authentication schemes are used.

933

Many of the security considerations identified in [SAML SEC] MAY also apply.
Biasprofile-1.0-cd-01
Copyright OASIS Open 2009. All Rights Reserved.

20 October 2009
Page 81 of 152

934
935
936
937

ISO/IEC 19092 [BIO SEC] describes a security framework for biometric systems including a minimum set
of security requirements addressing integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality of biometric information
during transmission and storage. These SHOULD be considered as part of an overall risk management
approach.

938
939
940
941
942

NOTE: The requirements of ISO/IEC 19092, though useful across many application domains, are
required for most biometric system implementations in the financial services environment.
Application of this standard would make the requirements of sections 5.5.3 through 5.5.5
mandatory rather than optional. This is highly RECOMMENDED for any high security environment
or where privacy concerns exist.

943

5.6.7 Security of Stored Data

944
945
946

This specification does not address security considerations for stored data. It is the purview of the BIAS
service provider to implement security mechanisms and protect data at rest as per their own security
policies.

947

5.6.8 Key Management

948
949

This specification does not address key management considerations with respect to implementation of
cryptographic security mechanisms (e.g., for authenticity, integrity, or confidentiality).

950

5.7 Use with other WS* standards

951
952
953
954
955

The intent of specifying SOAP bindings for BIAS messages is to enable the full range of existing Web
services standards to be able to be applied. Some may be normative while others can be optionally
applied (i.e., WS-Security, WS-Addressing). Still others may require additional profiling to be used in an
interoperable manner (e.g., WS-Notification); this is left to a future revision. However, the intent is to avoid
specifying anything in the first, base version that would preclude the use of such standards in the future.

956

5.8 Tailoring

957
958
959

This standard provides for a common method of implementing biometric Web services; however, it does
not guarantee interoperability in a specific application. In some cases further tailoring or profiling of this
standard may be required in order to further constrain the implementation options available.

960
961
962

NOTE: As an example, BIAS allows for a number of different biographic and biometric data formats
to be used, whereas a given application/domain MAY wish to limit this to a small set or just one of
each type. Other examples (not comprehensive) include:

963

Identification of a subset of BIAS operations to be used

964

Specification of security features to be implemented (e.g., SSL, CBEFF BIR encryption, etc.)

965

Choice of operation name identification method

966

Choice of BIR type to be used (XML, non-XML, or URI)

967

Further definition of aggregate operations

968

Use (or not) of the encounter model

969

Use (or not) of asynchronous operations

970

Process sequences

971

Implementation specific values (e.g., Transform oprerations/controls)

6 Error handling

973

There are two levels of errors that can be returned in an error response: system and service errors.

974
975
976
977
978
979
980

System-level errors occur when the implementing system cannot service a request. They could
result due to an internal logic error or because the implementing system does not support a
particular request.
Service-level errors occur when there is a problem transmitting or representing the service
request. They could result due to an invalid service request or because of a communications
error.

The INCITS BIAS standard defines the error condition codes for system-level errors.

981

If successful, a response message (containing a return code) will be generated.

982

If unsuccessful, a SOAP fault message (containing a fault code) will be generated.

983

6.1 BIAS operation return codes

984
985
986
987

If a BIAS operation is successful, a response (service output) will be sent to the requester by the service
provider. Each response message contains a response status (see section 3.2.37) and return code (see
section 3.2.38) along with any response data as defined for that operation, if any. A response code of 0
indicates success.

988

6.2 SOAP fault codes

989
990

If a BIAS operation is unsuccessful, no BIAS response message is sent. Instead a SOAP fault message
is returned.

991
992
993
994
995

Every Web service (operation) described in the BIAS WSDL may result in a fault message that will be
returned in the response by the service provider in the event of an error. The fault message contains a
FaultCode element as defined by the SOAP 1.1 specification (see section 3.2.5). The fault message
MUST contain a Detail element in a common format, as described by the BIASFault element (see section
3.2.6).

996
997

The schema provided in Annex A defines BIASFaultCode and BIASFaultDetail types as well as
BIASFault, BIASFaultType, BIASFaultMessage and BIASFaultDescription elements.

998
999

The list of defined BIAS fault codes is provided in section 3.2.5. Note that BIAS service providers MAY
define additional fault codes unique to their service.

1000

NOTE: See also section 5.2 for additional information on message returns and faults.

7 Conformance

1002
1003
1004
1005

Implementations claiming conformance to this standard, MUST implement, at a minimum, all mandatory
requirements and provisions set forth in Clauses 3, 4, 5 and 6. If such implementations claim
conformance to any OPTIONAL requirements and provisions stated in Clauses 3, 4, 5 and 6, these
requirements and provisions MUST be implemented as set forth in these Clauses.

1006
1007
1008

INCITS 442 [INCIS-BIAS] (Annex A) specifies five BIAS conformance classes. For each class, a set of
mandatory BIAS operations is identified in order for implementations (BIAS service providers) to claim
conformance. These categories are:

Class 1: Full Primitive Services Implementation

1010

Class 2: Full Aggregate Services Implementation

1011

Class 3: Limited Primitive Services Implementation

1012

Class 4: Minimum Primitive Services Implementation

1013

Class 5: Minimum Aggregate Services Implementation

1014
1015

In addition, the minimum capability information to be returned in response to a Query Capabilities request
(the only mandatory BIAS operation across all 5 classes) is specified for each class.

1016

These conformance classes and their associated requirements apply to this BIAS SOAP Profile.

1017
1018
1019

There are no minimum set of operations required to be implemented by BIAS requesters; however, any
operations implemented must conform to the requirements of Clauses 3 and 4 and those requirements
within Clause 5 that are mandatory and are not specific to BIAS responders.

Annex B. Use Cases (non-normative)

3903
3904
3905

The intent of this annex is to provide operational sequence diagrams / flow charts that show how the
higher level usage scenarios within [INCITS-BIAS] could be implemented using the BIAS SOAP profile.
The following use cases are given:

3906

Verification (synchronous/aggregate)

3907

Verification (asynchronous/aggregate)

3908

Verification (primitive)

3909

Identification (primitive)

3910

Enrollment (aggregate)

3911

Enrollment (primitive)

3912

B.1 Verification Use Case

3913
3914
3915

This use case uses the aggregate Verify operation in which a single request results in some set of
operations (in this case, a series of primitive BIAS operations) being performed by the BIAS service
provider.

3919

B.2 Asynchronous Verification

3920
3921

In this use case, the requester issues two requests the BIAS Verify request to initiate the operation
followed by a BIAS GetVerifyResult request to retrieve the results of that operation.

3926

B.3 Primitive Verification

3927
3928
3929

In this use case, the verification operation is performed as a series of requests using the BIAS primitive
operations. In this case, the client rather than the service provider controls the workflow of the higher
level operation.

3933

B.4 Identification Use Case

3934
3935
3936

This use case uses the aggregate Identify operation in which a single request results in some set of
operations (in this case, a series of primitive BIAS operations) being performed by the BIAS service
provider.

B.5 Biometric Enrollment

3943
3944
3945

This use case uses the aggregate Enroll operation in which a single request results in some set of
operations (in this case, a series of primitive BIAS operations) being performed by the BIAS service
provider.

3946
3947
3948

Here, if the result of the IdentifySubject is no matches found, then the subject is added to the gallery. If a
match had been found then other logic may have been applied (e.g., return candidate list, add encounter
for existing subject, etc.).
