CCDB Request For Comments

As announced at the last ICCC, the CCDB is trialing a process of requesting comments on selected items. This document, Characterizing Attacks to Fingerprint Verification Mechanisms is the first example of the use of this process. The document will be discussed by the CCDB at their meeting on 20/21 March and comments, via your national CC schemes, before that date are therefore welcomed.

At the CCDB meeting in March 2012, the topic of requesting comments for this document was discussed. All agreed to extend the comment date to 1 Sept 2012. It will be added to the CCDB agenda at the Sept 2012 meeting.
