Introduction

1.1

Overview

6

This DoD Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) describes customizations of the
American National Standards Institute/National Institute of Standards and Technology
Information Technology Laboratory (ANSI/NIST-ITL) transactions that will be necessary to
interface with the DoD Authoritative Biometrics Repository. The primary audience for this
specification consists of software engineers who develop and/or support systems that interface
with the DoD ABIS and any future biometric repository. Readers are expected to have working
knowledge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) EBTS and ANSI/NIST-ITL as a prerequisite
for understanding this specification. The DoD’s EBTS builds upon the ANSI/NIST-ITL and
incorporates aspects of the FBI EBTS to meet DoD requirements via additions and customizations
of the base data format.
The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) based
standard for information exchange. The NIEM is a United States (US) government-sponsored
initiative to facilitate information sharing within government organizations and their business
partners. NIEM helps organizations meet the requirements of Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD-5) 5: Management of Domestic Incidents, and associated Executive Orders.
HSPD-5 directs the Department of Defense (DoD) to establish appropriate relationships and
mechanisms for cooperation and coordination with other departments and agencies responsible
for protecting national security.
The DoD Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) Information Exchange Package
(IEP) is a collection of XML schemas, XML instance documents, and other information artifacts
that document the rules governing the exchange of biometric information with the United States
DoD. Biometrics is the automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and
biological characteristics. The IEP will provide interoperability support to the following core
biometric functions:

April 2019

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1



7

Collect - Consists of capturing a biometric sample (such as facial image, fingerprint, or iris
image) and related contextual data from an individual using a biometric collection
capability.



Store - The process of enrolling, maintaining, and updating biometric files to provide
standardized, comprehensive, current biometric information on individuals.



Match - Comparing a standardized biometric file to an existing source and scoring the
level of confidence of the match.



Share - The exchange of biometric files (biometric samples and contextual data) and
match results.

The DoD EBTS 4.1 standard acts as the Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPD),
which describes the contents and use of all the artifacts included in the IEP. Information
Exchange Package Documentation specification, or IEPD.


Collection of XML Schemas, XML instances, and other documentation and artifacts that
are the electronic representation of the rules governing an information exchange.



To ensure interoperability, specific component requirements and constraints are
determined on a per-exchange basis (in the IEPDs).



Package includes everything needed to create a conformant information exchange.

1.2 New This Release
This release is the second NIEM IEP from the Defense Forensics and Biometrics Agency. The DoD
EBTS v4.1 acts as the DoD-EBTS IEPD 2.1. The following section describes the major updates to
the DoD EBTS artifacts contained within this IEPD.

1.2.1 ANSI NIST 2011:2013 with Update 2011:2015
The American National Standards Institute / National Institute of Standards and Technology
International Technology Laboratories (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011: Update 2013) standard [1]
provides the guidelines for the exchange of biometric information between various federal, state,
local, tribal, and international systems. The 2013 update to the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard

incorporates Record Type 11: Forensic and Investigatory Voice Supplement (ANSI/NIST-ITL 12011 Sup: Voice) directly into the text, as well as corrects miscellaneous errors that were noticed
after publication of the 2011 version. The addition of Type 11 record and the updated additional
record types associated with this version of the standard have been noted and merged into the
DoD EBTS v4.1. The 2015 updates were mostly administrative to align to the new NIEM
biometrics domain and the new ITL XML schemas. The details of these changes are summarized
in the table below. For ease of discussion, this standard is also referenced as the ITL 2015.

Figure 1: Summarized ANSI/NIST ITL 1-2011: Update 2015 Changes

1.2.2 NIEM Biometrics 4.0.1
The release of NIEM 4.0 included streamlining various data domains to provide as wide support
as possible while relegating specific the use of specific data to the individual enterprise. NIEM
general architecture and structure of core domains are localized in a newer utilities architecture
format. Updates in the Biometrics Domain include removal of transactional data for schema size
reduction.
The NIEM core updates include:
•

Incorporated elements previously contained in domain content.

•

Modified existing definitions for data elements based on community input.

Key to the DoD EBTS IEPD 2.1, the NEIM Biometrics and Justice domains have submitted new
and/or updated content for incorporation in NIEM 4.0.

1.2.3 Dual Binary and XML formats
This version of the DoD EBTS incorporates several new enhancements to facilitate the generation
of transactions in either XML or legacy binary formats. This is a temporary enhancement
intended to enable backward compatibility to legacy platforms and trading partners as they
transition to an XML only framework. To maintain backwards compatibility, legacy transactions
will be supported only as long as the lifecycle of previously purchased biometrics collection
devices is active. All newly obtained systems to store/match/share biometrics shall conform to
the mandated standards in the DoD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR).

1.2.4 Transaction Based Data
DoD EBTS has always been a transaction based biometric system. This reflects the needs and
priorities of the warfighter and how DoD EBTS structures its data. Since NIEM Biometrics Domain
4.0.1 dropped transactions based data elements within its XML schema, DoD EBTS will now
provide transaction data element definitions within the local XML schema. Transaction data
governs how the DoD defines individuals through a specific biometric transaction. Transaction
data also construct the Transaction Control Number, which is the identification number utilized
by the DoD to build an adversary’s identity.

1.2.5 Ethnic Racial Characteristics
Through community input, DoD EBTS modified the existing ethnic racial data enumerations to
better recognize and differentiate the different ethnic racial groups. This arose from the
community determining that the current ethnic racial classifications as flawed. Ethnic Racial data
will continue to be scrutinized for improvements, and will be the subject of future DoD EBTS
updates.

1.2.6 FBI 10.0.3
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Electronic Biometric Transaction Specification (EBTS)
version 10.0 [2] and XML update 10.0.7 [3] defines the composition of records within a

April 2019

transaction that is transmitted between the FBI’s Next Generation Identification System (NGI)
and another site or agency. The EBTS defines the interface between FBI Criminal Justice
Information Services (CJIS) and the state, tribal, international, and other federal organizations’
(OFO) systems. Changes to the data fields or formats within the FBI EBTS have been structured
to honor previously published protocols to ensure that the systems are not adversely affected.
The DoD EBTS standard has taken steps to incorporate key aspects of the FBI’s new NGI system
into DoD EBTS version 4.1 to assist in supporting legacy transactions and facilitate exchange
between systems. Further enhancements to the DoD EBTS will be added to future releases as
requested by the community. The FBI EBTS files and record contents, formats, and data codes
have been updated for the exchange of fingerprint, palm print, photo, facial, and iris information
between federal, state, and local users and the FBI/CJIS.
The NGI system is now organized by User Services (Request Response based) that include the
following:
1. Identification Service.
2. Verification Service.
3. Information Service.
4. Investigation Service.
5. Notification Service.
6. Data Management Service.
The new FBI NGI System has changes regarding Identity Management which involve linking
records from the civil, criminal and new repositories by a unique identity reference. The NGI
System will refer to this new identifier as a Universal Control Number (UCN). NGI will place this
UCN into the FBI Number/UCN field (2.014 FBI) [3].
A UCN may have multiple Event Identifiers (2.2035 EVI) associated with it. For example, a person
who is arrested and fingerprinted multiple times. An EVI may have multiple Biometric Set

April 2019

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1

11

Identifiers (2.2029 BSI) associated with it, one for each modality captured during the event; for
example, fingerprints and palm prints taken during a booking process [3].

1.2.7 Code Lists
The DoD EBTS v4.1 will come with an updated EBTS DoD Integrated Data Dictionary (IDD) [2]
Appendix A Code Lists and Lookup Tables. In previous DoD EBTS releases, the code lists were
represented as text which were associated with the individual field definitions in the IDD. In the
IDD v6.1, applicable field definitions contain a reference to the code list now located in Appendix
A of the IDD document. The new separated code list format in Appendices facilitates:
•

Visualization and clarification of complex code list tables.

•

Cross references to other fields that reference the code list.

•

Space for the additional expression of code details.

•

Addition of graphical expression of code list concepts.

•

Enhancements to code lists to accommodate the XML Type Concept.

1.2.8 ANSI/NIST-ITL 2015 Updates
ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011: Update 2015 included enhancements to the Type 9 Minutiae data records
used to exchange minutiae or other friction ridge feature data. Type 9 data will no longer be
limited to the Common Biometric Electronic File Format (CBEFF), and give more flexibility to
system implementers. The FGP codes were broken into smaller types, then grouped for instances
where ITL requires specific subset of the allowed FGP numbers.
ITL-2015 data records also removed transaction base data blocks. This has been relegated to Type
2 subset of information. ITL-2015 also removed the ANSI Record Category Code and Application
Profile data as part to reduce redundancy. Signature data will no longer be supported within the
ITL-2015 update.
Much of the removed data will still be included, but relegated to a legacy status. CBEFF and INCITS
data can still be ingested within DoD EBTS but supported as Fingerprint Legacy Image Data.

1.3 DoD EBTS Evolutionary History
The DoD EBTS was originally developed based on the FBI Electronic Fingerprint Transmission
Specification (EFTS) to support DoD specific use cases and requirements which were outside the
scope of the FBI EFTS. The DoD EBTS v1.2, originally published in 2006, only supported the
fingerprint, face, and iris biometric modalities. As the biometric support for various DoD mission
activities evolved, so did the requirements for the EBTS. Additionally, there have been huge
strides in biometric technology since the earliest iteration of the EBTS which necessitated large
changes to the relevant standards. Both the FBI’s EBTS and the ANSI/NIST-ITL standards have
undergone many iterative upgrades since the early 2000’s, while the DoD still uses the DoD EBTS
v1.2 with a series of small modifications tacked on to it.
Upgrades of major significance included in DoD EBTS v3.0 are the DNA modality, and logical
records for Source Representation, Associated Context, and Information Assurance. Additionally,
the DoD mandated the use of the NIEM data sharing framework. In order to comply with that
mandate, the IEP model was adopted by the DFBA Standards Branch starting with EBTS v3.0.
Other improvements included the upgrade from ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000 to 1-2011, FBI EBTS v7 to
v9.3.
The requirements of the biometrics user community continued to change following the
publication of DoD EBTS v3.0, which necessitated the development of DoD EBTS v4.0. Major
updates to the standard include: addition of the Type-11: Forensic and Investigatory Voice
Record, the Extended Feature Set for latent fingerprint markup within Type-9, and alignment to
ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2013 and other updated USG biometric standards.
The table below clarifies the evolution of the Logical Records within the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard
and thus, the various versions of the DoD EBTS. Logical Records which are no longer used are
marked as deprecated, and new biometric modalities/transactional functionalities are indicated
in a darker color for their first appearance in the standard.

The incremental update of DoD EBTS v4.1 is the continuation of the version 4 evolution. Though
certain elements are deprecated and phasing out of use, DoD EBTS will continue to support and
store these types of elements. System functionality for EFS, INCITS M1-378, and CBEFF will
remain unchanged, though may not be imperative for processing a response within the DoD
biometric enterprise. This aligns with the DoD information retention priority. Information, no
matter what age, should be retained for the opportunity to leverage in any capacity. This open
to all legacy retention system also allows DoD EBTS to remain flexible in taking on new projects
for the biometric enterprise. New partners who many not yet be aligned with current standards,
but are so with older legacy standards can still engage in the DoD biometric enterprise as a stop
gap before full integration with DoD EBTS. This aligns with the current Secretary of Defense
mission priority to engage with partners holistically to increase lethality and help the DoD as a
force multiplier.

2.1 Model Package Definition (MPD)
The NIEM MPD [4] utilized in the development of this release DoD EBTS IEPD 2.1 is a normative
specification for XML data components in the format of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
XML Schema Definition Language [5] & [6].
NIEM is a data layer for an information architecture. Files in an MPD generally define XML Schema
types and declare XML elements and attributes to use in payloads for information exchanges.
The development of MPD schema documents:
(1) Define the semantics and structure for NIEM reusable data components
(2) Define implementable NIEM exchange instance XML documents in W3C Extensible
Markup Language (XML) [7].
Creation and management of IEPDs is the responsibility of stakeholders and developers. The DoD
EBTS v4.1 is a logical set of electronic files aggregated and organized to fulfill the specific purpose
as defined by the DoD biometric community. Directory organization and packaging of an MPD
are designed around major themes in NIEM: reuse, sharing, interoperability, and efficiency. The
DoD EBTS package shall be structured as follows:

possible rather than defining new elements that would serve the same purpose as those that
already exist. XML schema documents that are intended to provide the authoritative definitions
of broadly reusable schema components [2]. The schemas that DoD EBTS 4.1 relies on are NIEM
compliant schemas, and some are defined in U.S. national standards. This set of NIEM compliant
schemas serves is the base upon which the DoD EBTS 4.1 XML schema is built.
A NIEM Naming and Design Rules document [9] is intended to be the authoritative definition of
business semantics for components within its target namespace. The NIEM core schema
documents, NIEM domain schema documents, and NIEM domain update schema documents are

all reference schema documents. A reference schema document meets all of the following
criteria:
•

It is a NIEM conformant schema document.

•

It is explicitly designated as a reference schema document by its own conformance targets
attribute. This can be declared by an MPD catalog document or by a tool-specific
mechanism outside the schema document.

•

It provides the broadest, most fundamental definitions of data components in its
namespace.

•

It provides the authoritative definition of business semantics for data components in its
namespace.

•

It is intended to serve as a basis for components in IEPD schema documents, including
schema document subsets, constraint schema document sets, and extension schema
documents.

rectified in the 4.0 version of NIEM Biometric, and further refined in 4.0.1 versioning included in
the IEPD 2.1.
The NIEM schemas form the foundation for DoD EBTS v4.1 XML schema and all of the other
schemas it relies on. The NIEM subset contains NIEM reference schemas and NIEM domain
schemas. The schema relationships are illustrated in the following figure:

Figure 6: Schema Relationships

2.3.1 NIEM Subset Schema
Only a small part of the NIEM schemas are needed to implement DoD EBTS information
exchange. Reduced versions of NIEM schemas containing a subset of elements and types needed
for support are provided in this IEPD. Using the provided subset schemas reduces complexity and
promotes application processing efficiency.

April 2019

A NIEM schema document subset is a set of XML schema documents that constitutes a reduced
set of components derived from a NIEM reference schema document or document set associated
with a given numbered release or domain update [10]. The NIEM subset schemas are stored in
the xsd\niem folder of the IEP. This directory includes folders for NIEM reference schema and
domain schema files.

2.3.2 Exchange Schema
The exchange schemas are stored in the xsd\ folder of the IEP. The itl.xsd exchange schema
contains NIEM-conformant types and elements defined in the 2011: Update 2015 version of the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) “Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, & Other Biometric Information”
[11] standard.

2.3.3 Extension Schema
A NIEM extension schema directory [10] contains components that use or are derived from the
components in reference schema documents. It is intended to express additional vocabulary
above and beyond the vocabulary available from reference schema documents.
The DoD EBTS schema defines requirements for exchanging biometric information in electronic
format within the U.S. Department of Defense. The dod_ebts schema is based on requirements
for logical record and field formats defined in the ANSI/NIST ITL standard, and requirements
defined in the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI EBTS standard. Additional requirements
needed to perform the mission and achieve the goals of the DoD are also contained in the IEP.

2.4 XML Instance Documents
DFBA Standards Branch is continuously developing Types of Transactions (ToTs) to better define
what DoD EBTS expects to receive and what information it responds with. For further
explanation of ToT’s see section 2.8. Current sample XML instances and templates are provided
in the xml\folder of the IEP in the DOD-EBTS SCHEMA 4.1.

2.5 List of Artifacts
NIEM packages are generally composed of files and file sets grouped for a particular purpose.
Each file is referred to as an artifact, and each logical set of such files is called an artifact set. This
DoD EBTS IEP documentation contains the set of artifacts that define the structure and content
of the DoD EBTS IEP.
NIEM packages are composed of mandatory and optional artifacts. The major, normative
artifacts included in this IEPD are the NIEM Subset XML schema, and the Exchange, and Extension
schema described in section 2.3 of this document. The following table describes the contents of
the DoD IEPD 2.1 package:

2.6 Prefix Namespace Descriptions
An XML schema can be viewed as a collection (vocabulary) of type definitions and element
declarations whose names belong to a particular namespace called a target namespace. Target
namespaces enable us to distinguish between definitions and declarations from different
vocabularies.
This IEPD incorporates multiple markup vocabularies. It is intended that these vocabularies will
be used together in XML documents. Each vocabulary is assigned a unique namespace prefix to
fully qualify its element and attribute names and differentiate these names from those found in
other vocabularies.

2.7 Type 2 Historical Cross-Walk
This document will contain a historical progression of the mapping of the ANSI NIST ITL Types
from version 1.2 to the latest version 4.1. This crosswalks reflects a "lateral" (one-way)
progressive mappings from one standard version to another. The mapping matrix will identify:
-

Elements that were split up with different parts of it placed in multiple other elements in
the next version ("one-to-many" mapping).

-

Cardinality differences between different versions of an element.

-

Transitions in data formats (e.g. John Doe or Doe John Cornelius Jr).

-

Hierarchical changes in element composition.

-

Element code list or type reference changes.

-

New key components introduced into the standard (i.e. ANSI NIST ITL Type 9 Extended
Feature Set – EFS)

2.8 Types of Transactions (ToT) Matrix
The Types of Transactions Matrix uses Integrated Data Dictionary v6.1 elements to fully
describe the unique requirements of a particular operational environment. A Type of
Transaction (ToT) is a list of mandatory and optional data elements which correspond to a
particular use-case (e.g. latent fingerprint submission, match response).
The ToT Matrix includes:
• Transaction details for each transaction:
o which fields are mandatory or optional for each logical record;
o how many occurrences of each field are required/allowed;
o which logical records are mandatory or optional; and
o how many occurrences of each logical record are required/allowed.
• Definition of the names and purposes of each transaction;
• The identifier assigned by DFBA to name the ToT ;

April 2019

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1

32

• Conformance requirements for both originators and receivers of transactions.
ToT-based XML instance documents must validate against the DoD EBTS schema and any user
defined elements and constraints. Constraint schemas can further restrict the DoD EBTS schema.
User defined constraints must conform to all NIEM Naming and Design Rules requirements. They
may only further restrict DoD EBTS defined components. They may not be used to relax DoD EBTS
restrictions.

2.9 XML Structuring
The XML encoding rules conform to the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), which
facilitates interoperability for information sharing among multiple government agencies. The
XML encoding includes rules for how use redefined extensions may be included inside the
standard XML package, but do not define how the package may be wrapped in other XML
structures.

ANSI NIST ITL XML Conventions

The data formats for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial & Other Biometric Information
ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 Update: 2015 [1] developed for electronically encoding and transmitting
biometric image, identification, and arrest data that extends the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard. The
ANSI/NIST-ITL is developed and maintained in conjunction with the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) and the biometric identification community.
•

Fields

A field is used to transmit a particular datum or group of closely related data. A single type of
data that may have multiple entries in a field is shown as Subfield: repeating values in the record
layout tables. Single or multiple types of data in a field that do not repeat are shown as
information items in the record layout tables. Data with different formats that repeat as a set are
shown as information items grouped under the heading: Subfields: Repeating sets of information
items. The handling of subfields varies by encoding.

Transaction Sets

A transaction package shall consist of two or more logical records. There may be multiple records
in a transaction of each record type other than Type-1. There shall be at least one other record
of another Type. A record is comprised of fields. Within the standard, each field is assigned a
number, a description and a mnemonic.
For most record types, an individual record generally contains biometric and/or forensic data for
a single subject. There are some scenarios where a record may pertain to multiple subjects, such
as a Type-11 recording with multiple speakers, or a Type-20 image of evidence with fingerprints
from various people. A given transaction may require that all records apply to a single subject, or
may contain records from different subjects.
Thus, there is a difference between the subject of the transaction and the subject of the record.
It may be desirable in certain transactions to have separate Type-2 records when dealing with
multiple persons whose identities are being used to establish or verify the identity of the subject
of the transaction (such as persons already identified in a voice recording). The value is the IDC
of the associated Type-2 record, which is different from that of the record with the Type-2 Record
cross reference / T2C contained in it.

2.9.3 Character Set Conventions
Each XML information element, tags and data content, in a transaction shall be represented by a
character set that is a subset of Unicode and that is allowable by W3C XML. In order to ensure
that the transaction description information can be read by all systems, data for all fields in
Record Type-1 shall always be recorded in all encodings using the characters that can be
represented by the 7-bit American National Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII).
[21]
The 2007 version of the ANSI NIST ITL standard allowed users to switch any data (except that
contained in the Type-1 record) to an alternative character encoding using a mechanism
employing special control characters. This capability is retained in this version of the standard for
Traditional encoding to ensure backward compatibility.
The default character encoding for Traditional encoding is 7-bit ASCII. For XML, the default is UTF8. It is not possible to switch character encodings in XML, but users are encouraged to state the
character encoding (normally UTF-8) and version (1.0) in Field 1.015: Character encoding / DCS.
[1]

The data contained in an information item may be of the following types [1]:

A

Alphabetic: 26 English letters (both upper and lower case)

AN

Alphanumeric: Alphabetic and numeric 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

The special characters “STX”, “ETX”, “F S”, “G S”, “R S”, and “U S” are reserved and shall not be
included in any data (except data marked as character type B).
Binary image data may be constructed in either compressed or uncompressed form, then shall
be converted to ASCII characters prior to transmission using Base-64 encoding. Base-64 shall be
used for converting non-ASCII text into ASCII form, where required and noted in the standard.
Binary data fields, other than image data, in the Type- 4, 7, and 8 records have been given
conventional XML element tags.

3 Conformance
3.1 DoD EBTS Implementation Conformance
DoD EBTS implementations shall conform to the mandatory features of ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011
(Update 2015) and to the mandatory features of this specification which are defined by the Type
of Transaction (ToT) in the associated ToT Matrix. Each ToT will have its own conformance
requirements.

April 2019

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1

39

A DoD EBTS v4.1 transaction is conformant to ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 (Update 2015) standard if
the Biometric Electronic File Transaction (EFT) is capable of being morphologically (satisfies all of
the normative morphological requirements related to its data structure and data values),
syntactically (satisfies all of the normative requirements related to the relationships between
fields, subfields, or information items) and semantically (checks if the biometric transaction is a
faithful representation of the parent biometric data and ensures requirements are satisfied that
are not merely syntactical or morphological) conformant to the requirements of the standard.
The same rules shall also apply to the usage of FBI EBTS v10.0.3 data fields utilized in the Type-2
logical record.

3.2 NIEM
The NIEM information exchange reference model is not a strict standard against which
conformance is easily measured. All parts of the NIEM need not be used in a given IEPD for that
IEPD to conform to NIEM requirements. Even the NIEM Conformance Validation tool is not “the
authoritative source for NIEM conformance”, and therefore, cannot “guarantee or be used to
certify full NIEM conformance”.
Implementers may create constraint schemas that add any of the schemas used in this standard.
These constraint schemas must follow the rules for NIEM constraint schemas as they are defined
in the NIEM Naming and Design Rules. They may only be used to add constraints and restrictions
to components; they must not loosen the standard by allowing content that is not allowed by the
schemas upon which they are based.
NIEM conformance rules were followed during the development of this DoD EBTS IEPD. These
rules served as guidelines for achieving our goal of creating a common, unambiguous
understanding of biometric information that could be shared across the DoD and with its
information exchange partners.
This DoD EBTS IEPD conforms to the following NIEM conformance rules and guidance:
•

April 2019

All instances are XML valid and validate against all NIEM reference schemas used

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1

40

•

All IEPD schemas import and reference required NIEM namespaces

•

Where appropriate, existing NIEM components (e.g., types, elements, attributes, etc.)
were used

•

All NIEM components were used in accordance with their definitions

•

All required artifacts have been defined and provided following the NIEM IEPD Lifecycle

•

All schema components adhere to the NIEM Naming and Design Rules (NDR).

3.3 NIST
NIST Special Publication 500-295 Conformance Testing Methodology for ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011,
Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial & Other Biometric Information contains
conformance assertions for Record Types 1, 4, 10, 13, 14, 15, and 17. Conformance testing
measures whether an implementation accurately implements the technical requirements
defined in a standard. This testing methodology supports the development of conformance test
tools designed to test implementations of AN-2011 transactions and promotes biometrics
conformity assessment efforts. The tables of requirements and assertions indicate which
assertions apply to the traditional encoding format, the National Information Exchange Model
(NIEM)-compliant encoding format, or both encoding formats. The testing methodology makes
use of specific test assertion syntax to clearly define the assertions associated with each
requirement. [12]

3.4 DoD EBTS Domain
The domain for a transaction is identified by the Domain Name field (1.013). ANSI/NIST ITL 12011 defines an implementation domain as “a group of organizations that have agreed to use
specific pre-assigned data blocks for exchanging information unique to their installations.” The
ANSI/NIST-ITL uses implementation domains to define common sets of Type-2 tags. The DFBA is
the domain registrar for the DoD EBTS implementation domain and assigns values for this field.
Users requiring a unique Domain Name in lieu of the default values below must contact the DFBA

April 2019

Standards Branch and the DFBA Watch Desk. Users of the DoD EBTS v4.0 domain shall populate
the field as follows:
Field 1.013 Domain Name:
• Subfield 1.013_1 Domain Name (DNM) – DoD EBTS
• Subfield 1.013_2 Domain Version Number (DVN) – v4.1

3.5 DoD ABIS Backward Compatibility
To achieve backward compatibility, it is the onus of the DFBA Standards Branch, in conjunction
with the rest of the DoD Biometrics enterprise, to produce versions of the EBTS which facilitate
modern and legacy biometric transactions for as long as is operationally and financially
reasonable. Additionally, the DoD Authoritative Biometric Repository (i.e., ABIS and future
evolutions of the authoritative repository) must maintain the capability to process transactions
conforming to DoD legacy standards (e.g. DoD EBTS v1.2). Systems that collect DoD EBTS data
shall plan their acquisition phases accordingly and use the mandated DoD Information
Technology Standards and Profile Registry (DISR) EBTS version for data transmission. Legacy
collection systems that utilize older versions of the DoD EBTS shall receive responses that
conform to their respective versions.

3.6 Encounter Protection
DoD EBTS v4.1 identifies Field 2.351 for Encounter Protection. However, Field 2.351 Encounter
Protection shall not be configurable by the user or the biometric capturing device (i.e., Encounter
Protection is for internal use only at this time). Submissions from organizations that must use
Encounter Protection should contact DFBA Operations and also Standards Branch to coordinate
the use of Encounter Protection with them. It is the responsibility of ABIS to follow the Encounter
Protection business rules based on the Originating Agency Identifier.

3.7 Transaction Control Numbers (TCN)
A control number is an identification number which is assigned to a submission and carried
through on the response for tracing purposes. The Transaction Control Number (TCN) is a unique
identifier generated by the system that submits the transaction. When a transaction is sent to a
system that receives and generates responses, the Transaction Control Reference (TCR) in the
response(s) will be the TCN used in the submission. A TCN is mandatory for a submission, and a
TCR is mandatory for a response. These values are contained in the Type-1 record of a DoD EBTS
transaction.
Upon submitting a transaction to a DoD repository, the submitter places his control number in

the TCR field is omitted. When the DoD repository has completed processing the transaction and
generates the response, it places the submitter’s control number (the received TCN) into the TCR

field of the response as a reference number the submitter can use to mate the response with the
original submission. The DoD repository also places its own internal identifier for that transaction
in the TCN field of the response. Figure 10 illustrates, as an example, the TCN and TCR in the
transaction flow in the DoD ABIS.

Figure 11: Transaction Submission and Response Sequence

The DoD EBTS requires a 40-byte TCN that contains
• the Originating Agency Identifier (ORI);
• a Greenwich Mean (a.k.a. Zulu or UTC) date/time stamp;
• a code for the software used at the point of collection/transmission;
• an indicator of the software version used at the point of collection/transmission; and
• a random or sequential alphanumeric string.
A hyphen separates each of these values. Figure 11 illustrates the makeup of the TCN.

The DFBA Watch Desk will assign a unique software code to a product. Software developers must
contact the DFBA Watch Desk to obtain a four-letter software code (Figure 11, TCN blocks 26 –
29). This code must be used consistently in the software product.
Systems that initiate transactions must assign TCNs rather than permit operators to enter them.
A TCN shall be unique and shall not be reused. Matching a TCN to a TCR is the method used to
match DoD EBTS responses to DoD EBTS submissions. It is strongly suggested the filename for
the Electronic File Transaction is the TCN.

3.8 Origination Identifiers (ORI)
The mandatory origination field shall contain the ORI identifying the agency or organization
submitting the transaction. For DoD EBTS purposes, this field shall be a nine-byte alphanumeric
field. The DFBA will assign an ORI code to entities that submit directly to DoD ABIS. Those DoD
entities must contact the DFBA Watch Desk to obtain an ORI.
In order to properly track an EBTS file from origin to current owner, custodians of a biometric file
must adhere to the following guidance. Upon generation of a new biometric file, no CRI is
required because the originator is indicated by the ORI. When the file is passed to a different
system, the existing ORI is entered into the CRI field, and replaced by the ORI of the system which
is submitting the file. This forms a chain of file custodians in the CRI field, and can thusly be used
as a digital chain of custody for a biometric file. An example of this process is as follows.

3.9 Tagged Fields and Separator Characters
In the construction and interpretation of the logical record, the tag number should not be taken
as having a fixed number of digits. The format for each field consists of the logical record type
number followed by a period (.), a field number followed by a colon (:), followed by the
information appropriate to that field. The tagged-field number can be any one- to nine-digit
string occurring between the period and the colon. It shall be interpreted as an unsigned
integer field number. This implies that a field number of 2.123 is equivalent to and shall be
interpreted in the same manner as a field number of 2.00000123. For example, in this version
of the standard, Type-2 logical record field tags are shown as having three or four digits
between the decimal point and colon (2.NNN:data or 2.NNNN:data). The field numbers should
be parsed as all digits between the period and colon. In the construction and interpretation of
the logical record, there is no requirement that the tagged fields be present within the logical
record in any given order, with the exception of the Length (LEN), which must be in the first and
second position in the record, respectively. However, for those record types conveying image
data (e.g., 13.999: DATA), the data field will always be the last field in the string.
Separator characters may best be understood by considering them necessary for what follows
them, not what precedes them. Thus, when a tagged field includes subfields and another
subfield is still to follow, the following subfield must be separated from the one preceding it by
the unit separator character. If what is to follow is a repetition of a field or group of subfields, a
record separator must separate the preceding field or group of subfields from the repetition to
follow. If what is to follow is a new field, then the group separator character is used. If the
record is complete after the previous field, the file separator is used.
Per ITL 1-2011:2015, successive separator characters may be used with no intervening blank or
other character when a subfield is missing. In Type-2 records, DoD EBTS recognizes the
following sequences as meaning that a subfield is missing: , , ,
and . These are needed to obviate the need for the receivers of transactions to

April 2019

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1

47

validate each subfield in a grouped field to see whether it contains valid data or is merely a
blank.

3.10 Error Handling
In the interpretation of a transaction, fields that are not defined for the requested transaction
are to be ignored; their inclusion is not to be considered an error.
Fields should not be transmitted when there is no value present (e.g., ... 2.033: ...).
However, receipt of such an empty field, if the field is not mandatory, should not result in
rejection of the submission or issuance of an error message. Rejection may occur, however,
when missing or incorrect data would frustrate processing of the transaction.
Systems that receive transactions (submissions or responses) shall ignore data that are not
defined in the DoD EBTS. The Figure below defines the actions that shall be taken when
unrecognized data are received.

3.11 Image Quality and Image Sets Requirements
In the interest of maintaining an accurate and usable database of biometric data, minimum
image quality requirements must be followed for images submitted in DoD EBTS transactions.
Fingerprint Image Quality and Image Sets (Type-14)
Fingerprint image quality requirements are defined in Appendix F of the FBI EBTS v10.0.3. From
an image quality perspective only, any system certified by the FBI for use with NGI meets DoD
EBTS image quality requirements.
Rolled fingerprint samples shall be captured with each finger rolled from one side of the
fingernail to the other. The collection of a “complete set” of fingerprint samples shall include
any of the following image submissions:
14 Images:
Rolled or Flat image of each of the 10 fingers
One Four Finger Slap image of the right hand (no thumb)
One Four Finger Slap image of the left hand (no thumb)
One Flat image of the right thumb
One Flat image of the left thumb

April 2019

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1

49

13 Images:
Rolled or Flat image of each of the 10 fingers
One Four Finger Slap image of the right hand (no thumb)
One Four Finger Slap image of the left hand (no thumb)
One Two Thumb Slap Fingerprint image
10 Images:
Rolled or Flat image of each of the 10 fingers
An explanation for any required but missing fingerprints shall be provided in field 14.018
Amputated or Bandaged. Field 14.018 shall accurately represent the reason for each missing
fingerprint. This field has two subfields: Finger Position Code (FGP) and Amputated or
Bandaged Code (AMPCD). Both subfields are required if field 14.018 is present. Subfield FGP is
a two-digit code that specifies which finger is missing. Subfield AMPCD uses the value “XX”
when there is an actual amputation and the value “UP” (unable to print) for all other situations.
FBI EBTS identifies a Type-2, Field 2.084 Amputated or Bandaged (AMP) to indicate if the Type14 fingerprint submission does not contain a full set of fingerprints as described above. DoD
EBTS v4.1 recommends the use of ITL 1-2011 Field 14.018 in order to adhere to business rules
developed for this standard. However, Field 2.084 should be used to include the contextual
information if a Type-14 record is not submitted or to indicate why a slap image and/or plain
thumb image is missing.
ANSI/NIST-ITL accommodates additional digits in the case that the biometric subject has more
than ten fingers. The Friction Ridge Position Code list contains options for right or left “Extra
Digit.” Per ANSI/NIST-ITL guidance, if the biometric subject has more than four fingers on a
hand, all of the fingers may be included in a slap image.
In addition, DoD EBTS v4.1 does not recommend the practice of stitching fingerprint images
(e.g., the right and left thumb images were captured separately, but combined prior to
transmission to create a single artificial two-thumb image). For devices which are not able to

April 2019

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1

50

submit the four finger slap image and/or two thumb slap image due to limitations on the
capturing device, the AMP field shall instead be populated to indicate the Finger Position Code
and Amputated or Bandaged Code.

Palmprint Image Quality and Image Sets (Type-15)
Palmprint image quality requirements shall follow the same image requirements and
compression standards as identified for fingerprint image quality. All palmprint images shall be
acquired directly from a subject using a live-scan device or approved palmprint card. Whichever
method is used should be capable of providing a set of images for each hand.
A complete palmprint set contains the following images for both hands:
•

One writer’s palm image from each hand

•

Either one full palm image (the entire area of the full palm extending from the wrist
bracelet to the tips of the fingers) from each hand or

•

One upper palm image from each hand (extends from the bottom of the interdigital
area to the upper tips of the fingers) and one lower palm image (shall extend from the
wrist bracelet to the top of the interdigital area (third finger joint) from each hand or

•

One palm thenar area image, one palm hypothenar area image, and one palm
interdigital area image from each hand.

An explanation for any missing palmprint images is optional. Field 15.018 and its associated
subfields shall be used to indicate any missing images. The Type-2 Field 2.8112 has been added
to EBTS v3.0 and may be used to indicate if a Type-15 record is not able to be submitted.
Facial Photo Image Quality and Image Sets (Type-10)
All photographs shall be taken using a color camera. The camera lens orientation
(photographer) shall be pointed to the front of the person, aligned approximately in the center
of the face, and taken from a distance of approximately five feet. The orientation(s) of the
person for facial photos shall be taken from the following options:

April 2019

UNCLASSIFIED - DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

DOD ELECTRONIC BIOMETRIC TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATION VERSION 4.1

•

Frontal view (also known as full-frontal pose);

•

90 degrees left side;

•

45 degrees left side;

•

90 degrees right side; and

•

45 degrees right side.

51

When photographed, the person shall not be allowed to wear any glasses, sunglasses, or other
items obscuring the area photographed. The person may choose to expose only the area from
ear to ear and hairline to chin (for example, to not require the removal of a headdress). There
are no constraints on cosmetics.
The full frontal pose should be captured in accordance with one of the following:
•

ANSI INCITS 385-2004, “Face Recognition Format for Data Interchange”, clauses 8.2,
8.3, and 8.4 (The Full Frontal Image Type). NOTE: this document may be retired in
favor of the
ISO document below; or

•

Annex A, Best Practices for Basic Face Images, of ISO/IEC 19794-5, Information
technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 5: Face Image Data.

Iris Image Quality and Image Sets (Type-17)
An iris record shall contain an image of a single iris. Note: this does not imply that image
capture equipment must be used twice to collect two images. If a single image of both the left
and right eye is captured, further processing must result in two separate records.
Images should be captured in accordance with Annex A, Iris Image Capture, of ISO/IEC 19794-6,
Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 6: Iris image data.

4 Record Layout Tables
The following tables are snapshots of each ANSI/NIST ITL Record Type, and include only a
minimal set of representative data for each field, subfield, or information item. They were

April 2019

included in order to enhance user awareness of the standard, and are to be used as an easy
way to reference basic information within a given field. For normative information about each
data element within a field, refer to the Integrated Data Dictionary v6.0.
•

Repeating Subfields Designator
o In the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) NIST (National Institute of
Standards and Technology) 1-2011: Update 2013 field guidance table a new field
was introduced to designate repeating subfields of information. The repeating
subfield ID and Mnemonic will be indicated with and _0 designator.

•

Hierarchical Arrows (Conditionality)
o New in the ANSI NIST 2011: Update 2013 field tables are hierarchical dependency
arrow indicators located in the Optional field. The DoD EBTS IDD page construct
has also chosen to include this new morphological field construct.

•

Traditional vs. XML Encoding Differences:
o Where the content or structure of a field or information item would differ
between Traditional (Binary) and XML encodings, they are differentiated by a “T
