This section specifies how the PIV mandatory biometric elements specified in [FIPS] are to be generated and stored. This specification applies to templates stored within the PIV Card, and to [MINUSTD] templates otherwise retained by agencies. The templates constitute the enrollment biometrics for PIV authentication and as such are supported by a high quality image acquisition specification, and a FBI-certified compression format. The specification of a standardized template in this section enables use of the PIV Card in a multi-vendor product environment.
