36 CFR Part 1194 - Proposed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Standards and Guidelines NPRM - Preamble

403 Biometrics (Section-by-Section Analysis)

This is an introductory section.

403.1 General (Section-by-Section Analysis)

This section proposes to prohibit biometrics from being the only means for user identification or control unless at least two different biometric options using different biological characteristics are provided. This new exception was recommended by the Advisory Committee. Without the added exception, the language in this section is substantially unchanged from § 1194.25(d) of the 508 Standards, but would be new to the 255 Guidelines.
