We got the below email from Kevin Mangold today stating that we needed to send our comments to a list address. However, our submission bounced back from oasis-charter-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org! I had copied you and Kevin. Apparently Kevin is out of the office, so I'm reaching out to you on this. Can you make another suggestion so that our comments end up in the right place?

I just wanted to send out a reminder that comments/suggestions need to be submitted to the OASIS mailing list (oasis-charter-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org) for official inclusion. The deadline to submit comments is Tomorrow, Tuesday, December 4th and 23:59 EST.

In reading the charter and supporting documents... (1) we believe there is a need to enable biometrics to become a more viable / mature alternative in multi-factor authentication and we support the charter and intent. (2) I noticed that the concept of a "trusted device" and "anti-spoofing" seem missing. In a web based world it is critical that not only is the communications channel secured from man in the browser but you need to know that the end point device is secure and that the biometric sample being presented to the sensor is genuine. Without these attributes biometrics may not be a viable alternative. Is this in scope of the project? (3) NIST SP 800-63-1 has promulgated the concept that biometrics will never be a viable means of authentication because the biometric is not a secret... the narrative in this document therefore claims that biometrics should only be used to unlock tokens rather than be considered a viable authentication mode. I believe the project has to define and justify a broader use of biometrics to achieve the project objective.

Since this work may directly affect Lumidigm, we hope you will review the draft charter and let us know what you think. The project aims to develop a suite of open standards that will accelerate the use of biometrics and biometric services in a distributed environment. The Committee's work will build on the WS-Biometric Devices (WS-BD) specification (NIST Special Publication 500-288) and other current standards, including the BIAS SOAP Profile and XML Common Biometric Format (XCBF). The goal is to bring biometrics on par with technologies like cryptographic certificates, where web services standards are markedly more mature. OASIS is in the process of building an international coalition of support for this project. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Booz Allen Hamilton, Daon, and the Carlos III University of Madrid are initial proposers; the US Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and General Services Administration are finalizing their participation. Involvement from the public and private sectors across the world is a priority, which is why we are seeking your support. The charter will be finalized after 4 Dec; please send us your comments before then. If Lumidigm would like to be listed as an OASIS Biometrics Technical Committee proposer in the formal Call for Participation (membership is required), we'd be happy to discuss your options for getting involved.
