Title
Fingerprint data retention
Control
This document neither requires nor precludes agencies from retaining fingerprint images. However, if an agency elects to retain images, then they shall be stored in the format specified in section 3.5. The format specification includes the [CBEFF] header of section 6, and this allows for encryption of the image records. This document neither requires nor precludes agencies from retaining fingerprint templates. However, if an agency elects to retain templates, in either proprietary or standardized formats, then they shall be embedded in the [CBEFF] header of section 6. This allows for encryption of the records. Retention of data supports, for example, detection of duplicate identities.
