ISO/IEC 19785-2:2006 specifies the requirements for the operation of the Biometric Registration Authority within the Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (CBEFF). The Registration Authority is responsible for assigning and publishing, via its website, unique biometric organization identifier values to organizations that own or are otherwise responsible for standardized or proprietary format specifications for biometric data blocks, biometric information record security blocks and/or CBEFF patron formats, and to organizations that intend to assign biometric product identifier values to their products.
