INTRODUCTION

This Department of Defense (DoD) Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) is based
on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Information Technology Laboratory specification number 1-2011 (ITL 1-2011). The DoD’s
EBTS builds upon the ITL 1-2011 to meet DoD requirements via additions to and customizations of the
ITL 1-2011 data format.

1.1 Background
The DoD EBTS was originally developed as an interface to the DoD Automated Biometric
Identification System (ABIS). The DoD ABIS is an electronic database and an associated set of
software applications that support the storage, retrieval, and searching of fingerprint and latent data
collected from persons of national security interest. The DoD ABIS was designed to be similar to the
FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification
System (IAFIS) and therefore its interface was based on the FBI’s Electronic Fingerprint Transmission
Specification (EFTS). Because of the different nature of DoD encounters and detainment
circumstances, the DoD has additional operational requirements beyond those defined in the FBI EFTS.
The DoD-unique capabilities are defined in the DoD EBTS.
Following extensive expert review and multiple revisions, the first widely distributed version (version
1.2) of the DoD EBTS was released in November 2006. That document described a set of capabilities
that had been implemented in the DoD Biometric Enterprise as well as defining future capabilities.
DoD EBTS version (v) 1.2 was based on the FBI Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification
(EFTS) v7.0 and ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000. After the release of DoD EBTS v1.2, a number of events
shaped the release of DoD EBTS Version 2.0:
•
•

•
•
•
•
•

As biometric support for various DoD mission activities evolved, so did the requirements for
a more flexible standard.
The scope of DoD biometric data collection and sharing expanded to a wider range of
operational scenarios. This broader set of scenarios necessitated the use of a mechanism to
tailor the DoD EBTS to individual applications. This mechanism is called an “application
profile.” It is used to describe customizations for individual operational scenarios that make
use of the DoD EBTS. The concept of an application profile is described in Section 2.1.
Data elements pertaining to biometric data collection and sharing have been defined in a
Glossary, a Data Dictionary, and a Data Model. All of the data elements used in the DoD
EBTS are defined in the Data Dictionary.
ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000 was updated to ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2007 Part 1.
The DoD ABIS has evolved into the Next Generation ABIS (NG-ABIS), which provides
additional functionality such as searching of iris images and face images.
DoD EBTS needs to be usable for communications with DoD biometric repositories in
addition to DoD ABIS (or NG-ABIS).
FBI EFTS v7 was updated to FBI EBTS v8 to reflect ANSI/NIST ITL-1 2007 Part 1.

Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification Version 3.0

DIN: BIMA-STB-STD-11-001

Following the release of EBTS v2.0, there were a number of Change Requests submitted and fixes to
Version 2.0 identified. Furthermore, DoD EBTS v3.0 allows for the transmission of new functionality.
DoD EBTS v3.0 addresses the needs of the Biometrics Enterprise and will be based on ANSI/NIST ITL
1-2011 and will be closely aligned to the FBI Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS)
v9.3.
New functionality to EBTS v3.0 adopted from ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 is as follows:
•
•
•
•

Type-18 in DoD EBTS v3.0 shall be used to exchange DNA and related data
Type-20 in DoD EBTS v3.0 shall contain the source representation(s) (a source
representation is used to generate one or more representations for use in other record types)
from which other Record Types were derived
Type-21 in DoD EBTS v3.0 shall contain an associated context, audio/visual recording or
other related data (i.e., pocket litter)
Type-98 in DoD EBTS v3.0 shall contain security information that allows for the assurance
of the authenticity and/or integrity of the transaction including such information as binary
data hashes, attributes for audit or identification purposes and digital signatures

Change Requests submitted from the Biometrics Enterprise that are incorporated in EBTS v3.0 can be
found in the Change Request Log.
The DoD EBTS v3.0 is described in this document.

1.2 Scope and Purpose
The DoD EBTS is a transmission specification to be used between DoD systems that capture biometric
data and repositories of biometric data. The DoD EBTS does not attempt to specify all data used in all
biometric enabled applications. It does allow for the definition of application specific data elements as
specified in Section 1.6 of this document.
This version of the DoD EBTS has been restructured to contain only the definitions of individual fields
and the structure of logical records. It does not attempt to define transactions; any definition of the
combination of logical records into transactions is defined in individual application profiles (described
in Section 3.0). Furthermore, this document provides only the traditional encoding description of DoD
EBTS v3.0. The DoD EBTS v3.0 Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information Exchange Packet
Documentation (IEPD) will align with the traditional encoding and will be provided separately.
The primary audience for this specification consists of software/system engineers who develop, support,
and/or test systems that interface with the DoD authoritative repository (i.e., DoD ABIS) or other DoD
biometric systems. This document contains the technical details of the DoD EBTS. Readers are
expected to have working knowledge of the ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 as a prerequisite for understanding
this specification.
This document may also be used by program managers, trainers, or other system design personnel to
gain an understanding of the capabilities enabled by the DoD EBTS.

CONFORMANCE AND UNIQUE REQUIRMENTS

2.1 Application Profile
An application profile is a document that describes how the DoD EBTS can be applied to a particular
operational scenario. An application profile must be specified to fully describe an implementation.
An application profile 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 the BIMA to name the Application Profile (to be placed in the
Application Profile Specifications field (1.016)); and
• Conformance requirements for both originators and receivers of transactions.
An Application Profile shall only use data elements defined in the Integrated Data Dictionary and those
data elements shall stay within the defined range. An Application Profile describes the transactions
(submissions and responses) that provide a data transfer equivalent to the Types of Transactions (TOTs)
identified in the Application Profile. An Application Profile provides an additional level of granularity
and sets restrictions or extensions on how EBTS is implemented.
An implementation may use the application profile associated with this Version (3.0) of the standard, or
may generate a new application profile. In the latter case, those DoD entities who wish to develop an
application profile must contact the BIMA Watch Desk and the BIMA Standards Branch (see Section
1.5). The Standard Operating Procedure for generating a new Application Profile should be followed
and BIMA will assist in the approval process. All application profiles will be maintained by the BIMA.
The BIMA will maintain a registration authority for managing the set of application profiles. This
includes the management of the identifiers used in the Domain Name field.

2.2 DoD EBTS Domain
The domain for a transaction is identified by the Domain Name field (1.013). The BIMA is the domain
registrar for the DoD EBTS implementation domain and assigns values for this field. ITL 1-2011
defines an implementation domain as “a group of organizations that have agreed to use specific preassigned data blocks for exchanging information unique to their installations.
The ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 uses implementation domains to define common sets of Type-2 tags. The
DoD EBTS allows an application profile to define much more (including transactions). Users of the
DoD EBTS v3.0 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) – 3.0.

Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification Version 3.0

DIN: BIMA-STB-STD-11-001

2.3 Conformance and Testing
DoD EBTS implementations shall conform to the mandatory features of ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011.
DoD EBTS implementations shall conform to the mandatory features of this specification which are
defined by the Type of Transaction in the associated Application Profile.
Implementations shall also conform to one or more application profiles that have been registered with
the BIMA. DoD EBTS does not have a requirement for an implementation to conform to more than one
application profile, nor does it require that all implementations conform to the application profile
associated with EBTS Version 3.0. Each application profile will have its own conformance
requirements.
A DoD EBTS v3.0 transaction is conformant to ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 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 v9.3 data fields utilized in the Type-2 logical
record.

2.4 DoD ABIS Backward Compatibility
To achieve backward compatibility, it is the onus of the DoD Authoritative Biometric Repository (i.e.,
ABIS and future evolutions of the authoritative repository) to handle the capability to process DoD
EBTS v1.1, DoD EBTS v1.2, DoD EBTS v2.0, and DoD EBTS v3.0 transactions. 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 send DoD EBTS v1.2 and DoD EBTS v2.0 transactions shall receive responses
that conform to their respective versions.

2.5 Character Encoding
All of the fields in the Type-1 transaction record shall be recorded using the 7-bit ASCII code, which is
the default character encoding set code within a transaction. In order to affect data and transaction
interchanges between non-English speaking or foreign-based agencies, a technique is available to
encode information using character encoding sets other than 7-bit ASCII. Fields from the Type-1 logical
record and ASCII Field xx.001 and Field xx.002 text fields shall still be encoded using 7-bit ASCII, but
all other designated text fields may be encoded using an alternate character encoding set, if they are
shown with the character type of ‘U’ or ‘user-defined’ in the ITL 1-2011 record layout tables at the
beginning of each Record Type Section of the ITL 1-2011 standard. Unicode Consortium Standard
Page 6 of 79

Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification Version 3.0

DIN: BIMA-STB-STD-11-001

Transformation Format (UTF) – 8 should be used if necessary for expressing special characters or other
character sets in fields with the character type of ‘U’ or ‘user-defined.’
For further clarification on character encoding, please refer to ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011.

2.6 Structure of a Mnemonic
A record is comprised of fields. Within the standard, each field is assigned a number, a description, and
a mnemonic. The mnemonic structure shall follow __ which allows for the mnemonics to be unique within a
given data field and used for identification purposes. For example, Field 2.8003_2 Biometric Birth Date
with Information Item Date Validity is displayed as “T2_SUBJ_DOB_DATE_VLD.”

2.7 Encounter Protection
DoD EBTS v3.0 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 BIMA operations and 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.

DoD EBTS TRANSACTIONS

DoD EBTS does not define individual transactions. Transaction contents are defined in Application
Profiles. Please consult with the BIMA Standards Branch for information on developing and receiving
approval for Application Profiles. This section describes the rules and concepts that apply to any of
those transactions. This includes the use of logical records for each biometric modality, transaction
control numbers, origination identifiers, error handling, and image quality requirements.

3.1 Record Types
Table 1 identifies the types of biometric data supported by the DoD EBTS Version 3.0 and indicates
which logical record type is used to carry the data for each modality and other associated data (i.e.,
Type-21 Associated Context and Type-98 Information Assurance).

details for using these logical records for constructing transactions are described in Section 2.0.
Note that it is possible to define a new logical record in an application profile if required.
3.1.1 Finger pr int Suppor t
Fingerprints shall be contained in Type-14 records. A Type-14 record shall contain a fingerprint image
of one of:
•

500-ppi image using 15:1 Wavelet Scalar Quantization (WSQ20) compression as defined in
ITL 1-2011 and FBI EBTS v9.3 or
Page 8 of 79

Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification Version 3.0

•

DIN: BIMA-STB-STD-11-001

1,000-ppi image using 15:1 JPEG 2000 Lossless (JP2L) compression as defined in ITL 12011 and FBI EBTS v9.3.

Latent fingerprints shall be contained in Type-13 records. A Type-13 record shall contain a latent
fingerprint image of one of:
•
•
•

500-ppi image using no compression
1,000-ppi image using no compression or
1,000-ppi image using 15:1 JPEG 2000 Lossless (JP2L) compression as defined in ITL 12011 and FBI EBTS v9.3.

3.1.2 Finger pr int Template Suppor t
Fingerprint data may also be conveyed as fingerprint minutiae templates. Fingerprint template data shall
be contained in Type-9 records. Type-9 records shall choose one of the following minutiae blocks as
defined in ITL 1-2011:
• “IAFIS Features” (FBI Native-Mode) minutiae block (fields 13-30) as described in the FBI
EBTS or
• “M1-378 Features” minutiae block (fields 126-150) as described in Table 28 of ITL 1-2011.
The decision on which format to use is driven by interoperability requirements with other systems. ITL
1-2011 also identifies reserved blocks in the Type-9 record, each consisting of several fields, which are
registered and allocated for use by specific vendors. As these blocks may contain proprietary
information and do not promote interoperability across the biometrics enterprise, no detailed information
is provided in DoD EBTS v3.0 regarding the content of these vendor-defined feature sets.
3.1.3 Facial Image Suppor t
Facial images and Scar, Mark & Tattoo (SMT) images shall be contained in Type-10 records. Images
may be compressed using the requirements for algorithms identified in ITL 1-2011. When Record Type10 contains a facial image, the conditions described in ITL 1-2011 Annex E: E.6.1 Compression
algorithm applies.
3.1.4 Palmpr int Suppor t
Palmprints shall be contained in Type-15 records. A Type-15 record shall contain a palmprint image of
one of:
•
•

500-ppi image using 15:1 Wavelet Scalar Quantization (WSQ20) compression as defined in
the ITL 1-2011 and FBI EBTS v9.3
1,000-ppi image using 15:1 JPEG 2000 Lossless (JP2L) compression as defined in ITL 12011 and FBI EBTS v9.3.

Latent palmprints shall be contained in Type-13 records. A Type-13 record shall contain a latent
palmprint image of one of:
•
•

500-ppi image using no compression
1,000-ppi image using no compression or
Page 9 of 79

Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification Version 3.0

•

DIN: BIMA-STB-STD-11-001

1,000-ppi image using 15:1 JPEG 2000 Lossless (JP2L) compression as defined in ITL 12011 and FBI EBTS v9.3.

3.1.5 Ir is Image Suppor t
Iris images shall be contained in Type-17 records. It is recommended that raw images with dimensions
of 640X480 are captured and used for submission. If images are to be compressed, they shall be
compressed using JPEG lossy (JP2) or JPEG Lossless (JP2L).
The baseline JPEG algorithm (ISO/IEC 10918) shall not be used for Type-17 iris images. It has been
shown that both false non-match and false match rates increase due to the presence of tiling artifacts
introduced by JPEG's discrete cosine transform. While JPEG was allowed in prior versions of this
standard, it shall not be allowed for new images.
3.1.6 DNA Suppor t
The Type-18 record shall contain and be used to exchange DNA and related data. It was developed to
provide a basic level of interoperability with ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 which adopts the concepts of the
draft format of the ISO/IEC 19794-14 DNA data interchange format.
3.1.7 Sour ce Repr esentation Suppor t
The Type-20 record shall contain the source representation(s) from which other Record Types were
derived. Typically, one Type-20 source representation is used to generate one or more representations
for use in other record types. When a source representation (in a Type-20 record) is processed and the
derived representation is to be used as the source for further derivations, then the derived representation
is contained in a Type-20 record.
In some cases, several Type-20 records may be processed to derive a single Type-20 record.
Some possible uses of the Type-20 record are:
• From a group photo stored in a Type-20 record, a subject’s face is segmented and stored in a
Type-10 record.
• From a high-resolution color image in a Type-20 record, two latent fingerprint images are
segmented, rescaled and gray-scaled for storage in separate Type-13 records.
• From a series of off-angle face images stored in separate Type-20 records, a single 2D face
image is generated (using fusion) that is stored in a Type-10 record.
3.1.8 Associated Context Suppor t
The Type-21 record shall contain an associated context image, audio / visual recording or other related
data. This record type does NOT contain information used to derive biometric information contained in
other records. Record Type-20 serves that function. Record Type-21 may be used to convey contextual
information, such as an image of the area where latent fingerprints were captured or pocket litter.
3.1.9 Infor mation Assur ance Suppor t
The Type-98 record shall contain security information that allows for the assurance of the authenticity
and/or integrity of the transaction, including such information as binary data hashes, attributes for audit
or identification purposes, and digital signatures.
3.1.10 Other Biometr ic Modality Suppor t
A BIMA-approved application profile must define any use of Type-99 to contain other biometric
modalities.

3.2 Transaction Control Numbers
An identification number is assigned to a submission and carried through on the response for tracing
purposes. This 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 in an FBI EBTS or DoD EBTS transaction.
Upon submitting a transaction to a DoD repository, the submitter places his control number in the TCN
field in the Type-1 record. For submissions not requiring reference to a prior transaction, 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 1 illustrates, as an example, the TCN and TCR in the transaction flow in the DoD ABIS.

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 2 illustrates the makeup of the TCN.

Figur e 2: TCN Layout
The BIMA Watch Desk will assign a unique software code to a product. Software developers must
contact the BIMA Watch Desk (see Section 1.5) to obtain a four-letter software code (Figure 2, 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. A TCN 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 recommended that the filename for the Electronic
File Transaction is the TCN.

3.3 Origination Identifiers
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 BIMA
will assign an ORI code to entities that submit directly to DoD ABIS. Those DoD entities must contact
the BIMA Watch Desk to obtain an ORI.

3.4 Tagged Fields
Systems that receive transactions (submissions or responses) shall observe the following processing
rules for tagged fields.

Page 12 of 79

Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification Version 3.0

DIN: BIMA-STB-STD-11-001

3.4.1 Inter pr etation of Tags
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) and Image Designation Character (IDC), 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.
3.4.2 Use of Separ ator Char acter s
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, 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 validate each
subfield in a grouped field to see whether it contains valid data or is merely a blank.

3.5 Error Handling
Systems that receive transactions (submissions or responses) shall observe the following processing
rules for 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 or appropriate application profile. Table 2 defines the actions that shall be taken when
unrecognized data are received.

3.6 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.
3.6.1 Finger pr int Image Quality and Image Sets (Type-14)
Fingerprint image quality requirements are defined in Appendix F of the FBI EBTS v9.3. From an
image quality perspective only, any system certified by the FBI for use with Next Generation
Identification (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

13 Images:
•

Rolled or Flat image of each of the 10 fingers
Page 14 of 79

Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification Version 3.0

•
•
•

DIN: BIMA-STB-STD-11-001

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 from a plain two thumb slap or four finger slap image. 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.
DoD EBTS v3.0 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 Amputated or Bandaged and its two information
items should be used to include the reason for a missing finger if a Type-14 record is not submitted or to
indicate why a slap image and/or plain thumb image is missing.
In addition, DoD EBTS v3.0 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 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.
3.6.2 Palmpr int 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 and
•
•
•

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.

Page 15 of 79

Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification Version 3.0

DIN: BIMA-STB-STD-11-001

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.
3.6.3 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:
•
•
•
•
•

Frontal view (also known as full-frontal pose);
90 degrees left side;
45 degrees left side;
90 degrees right side; or
45 degrees right side.

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.
3.6.4 Ir is 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.

DoD EBTS RECORDS AND FIELDS

The DoD EBTS is 100% ITL 1-2011 conformant. Any DoD EBTS ITL 1-2011 defined field may occur
in a DoD EBTS transaction in the appropriate logical record. Any field that is mandatory in ITL 1-2011
shall occur in a DoD EBTS transaction in the appropriate logical record.
This section contains any additional information not included in ITL 1-2011.
The following discussion uses the ITL 1-2011 standard definition of information separators:
• multiple occurrences of field are separated by the “RS” character (represented in this
document by ); and
• information items within a field are separated by the “US” character (represented in this
document by ).
If the following sections do not identify any subfields, none are allowed.

4.1 Type-1 Records [Transaction Information]
DoD EBTS Type-1 records are defined in ITL 1-2011. Every application profile shall define values in
the Application Profile Specifications field (1.016). The BIMA Baseline Application Profile shall be the
default value in field 1.016 if no other value is provided. The Baseline Application Profile specifies the
common transactions occurring between DoD collection devices that have direct or indirect transaction
ties to the DoD authoritative biometric repository. The Baseline Application Profile enables the user to
conform to DoD EBTS v3.0. For implementations using the Baseline Application Profile v1.0, the
values are as follows:
Field 1.016 Application Profile Specification
• Subfield 1.016_1 Application Profile Organization (APO) – BIMA.
• Subfield 1.016_2 Application Profile Name (APN) – Base Application Profile.
• Subfield 1.016_3 Application Profile Version Number (APV) – 1.0. (The version number
will be updated as necessary)
DoD EBTS v3.0 transactions do not contain Type-3 through Type-7 records, therefore the fields Native
Scanning Resolution (1.011) and Nominal Transmitting Resolution (1.012) shall be set to “00.00” as
specified in ITL 1-2011.

4.2 Type-2 Records [User-Defined Descriptive Text]
The Integrated Data Dictionary (IDD) v5.0 defines the following Type-2 fields to meet DoD
requirements. The DoD Expanded Application Profile document provides information such as whether
the field is mandatory for the associated Type of Transaction (TOT) and the minimum and maximum
occurrences. Each DoD EBTS field is associated with IDD elements as shown in the following tables.
Certain data elements in the EBTS v2.0 Type-2 record are now considered legacy FBI fields to the DoD
and those fields are derivable by specific DoD EBTS v3.0 Type-2 or ANSI/NIST ITL 1-2011 data
fields. The legacy FBI fields remain in the Base Application Profile and IDD v5.0 because they have
been identified as being mandatory to specific FBI TOTs.

Definition
Currently viable and fully usable dictionary
element.
Element is still usable in current implementations,
but it should not be used going forward. It will
gradually be phased out with a new element(s)
doing the same thing. The IDD will clearly mark if
an element is deprecated. The IDD will also
provide the superseding element(s) and any qualify
condition. This helps identify the transition path
from As‐Is to To‐Be.
Used for alerting the user community that an
element may be retired in the future. An element
nominated for sunset may not be retired if the
community feels it is needed. IDD will provide
indicator to clear mark if an element is in the
sunset state and the reason why.
Appearing for the last time in the version of the
IDD as they are being retired. The IDD will clearly
mark if an element is retired. Retired element can
be reinstated with necessary requirement. At that
point, the element will be treated as a new element.
Pertains to FBI elements only. The element should
only be used in FBI TOTs. It can be derived from
DoD element(s). The IDD clearly marks if an FBI
element is derivable. The IDD will also provide
the DoD elements and any qualify condition from
which this element can be derived
A DoD Type‐2 element that can be considered for
future capability. It can be subject to change.

ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 has incorporated many data fields that were previously defined in the Type-2
record within earlier versions of both the DoD EBTS and FBI EBTS specifications. These fields include
2.038 Date Printed (DPR), 2.067 Image Capture Equipment (MMS), 2.306 Geographic Coordinate
Latitude/Longitude, 2.307 Geographic Coordinate Datum, 2.321 Geographic Coordinate Other and
2.322 Geographic Coordinate Universal Transverse Mercator.
DoD EBTS v3.0 still needed a comprehensive way of identifying both the pieces of equipment as well
as where and when the data was collected for each modality in the Type-2 Record. In order to
accomplish this, DoD EBTS v3.0 created two new fields, 2.8114 Collection Location (previously 2.301
in DoD EBTS v1.2 and 2.8100 in DoD EBTS v2.0) and 2.8118 Collection Equipment
Make/Model/Serial Number.
Field 2.8114 Collection Location shall be used to capture the geographic location and time for just the
Type-2 data and/or for the entire submission. To maintain consistency with ANSI/NIST ITL 1-2011, the

In the 2007 and 2008 versions of the ITL standard, this field had a repeating subfield that could occur up to 6 times. Since only one image is sent per
record, the maximum should have been 1 to maintain backward compatibility, the subfield structure has been retained, but with a maximum occurrence of
once.

4.10 Type-20 Record [Source Representation Record]
DoD EBTS Type-20 records are completely defined in ITL 1-2011. New to this version of the standard,
the Type-20 record contains the source representation(s) from which other Record Types were derived.
Examples are an image of multiple latent prints, of which one or more is of interest. Those would be
segmented and prepared for sending in a Type-13 record. An audio/visual record may provide both
facial images for Type-10 record and an audio recording to be used in a future voice logical record.
There are many more occasions when it might be appropriate to use a Type-20 record.

4.11 Type-21 Record [Associated Context Record]
DoD EBTS Type-21 records are completely defined in ITL 1-2011. New to this version of the standard,
the Type-21 record contains an associated context record. This information does not contain information
used to derive biometric information contained in other records. Record Type-20 serves that function.
Record Type-21 may be used to convey contextual information, such of a referenced image area where
latent fingerprints were captured.
