PIV Card templates shall be a conformant instance of the INCITS 378-2004 [MINUSTD] minutiae template standard. That is, the minutiae from both the primary and secondary fingers shall reside within a single INCITS 378 record. This means that there will be one instance of the "General Record Header" [MINUSTD, 6.4], and two instances of the "Finger View Record" [MINUSTD, 6.5]. This record shall be wrapped in a single instance of the CBEFF structure specified in Section 6 prior to storage on the PIV Card. The PIV Card templates shall not be encrypted. Table 3 is a profile of the generic [MINUSTD] standard. Its specifications shall apply to all minutiae templates placed on PIV Cards. These constraints are included to promote highly accurate and interoperable personal identity verification. This document recommends that the minutiae records should be prepared after the images are captured and before they are compressed for storage (see Figure 1). INCITS 378 is likely to be revised by the INCITS M1 committee. Such revisions are irrelevant to PIV; however implementations should respect the version number on Line 14 of Table 3. To assist implementers, NIST has made [MINUSTD] sample data available 2 .
