Before · FIPS 201-2

New features are optional or mandatory features that are added to the Standard. New features do not interfere with backward compatibility because they are not part of the existing relying systems. For example, the addition of an optional on-card biometric comparison (OCC) authentication mechanism is a new feature that does not affect the features in current systems. The systems will need to be updated if an agency decides to support the OCC-AUTH authentication mechanism.
