= Biometrics Security iTC (BIO-iTC) CMFA PP-Module
== Introduction This repository is for the creation of the documents for the Continuous Multifactor Authentication (CMFA) PP-Module. The CMFA ESR can be found in the https://github.com/biometricITC/Administration[Administration] repository.
Check out the main page for the iTC at https://biometricitc.github.io/ for general status.
== The Technical Community The BIO-iTC consists of members of Certification Bodies, labs, vendors and academia working together to create requirements for biometric security testing.
If you are interested to join the iTC and become a member of the mailing list, please send an email with a short request to isec-itc-bio-info@ipa.go.jp.
== Code of Conduct The BIO-iTC expects participants to follow a code of conduct. This is laid out in the https://github.com/biometricITC/Administration/N58_BS%20iTC%20ToR%20-%20v0.6%20final.pdf[Terms of Reference] and in the https://github.com/biometricITC/Administration/code_of_conduct.adoc[Code of Conduct].
== Contributing to the BIO-iTC The BIO-iTC welcomes contributions to the ongoing work of creating and maintaining the cPP and SD. Issues and Pull Requests can be submitted at any time for review by the iTC. New Issues can be submitted https://github.com/biometricITC/cPP-biometrics/issues/new/choose[here].
The BIO-iTC uses asciidoc files as the source files for generating the cPP and all related documents. Asciidoc is a text format that can be read directly in GitHub as well as offline using any number of editors (including simple text editors). https://asciidoctor.org[Asciidoctor] is used as the post-processor for generating the final (i.e. PDF or HTML) output from these files. The format of these files is fairly simple to understand.
A syntax guide for the main flags you are likely to run into can be found in the the iTC Team Tools WG repository https://github.com/itc-wgtools/cPP-Tools/tree/master/User%20Guidance[Syntax Guide]. This file is designed to be viewed as both source and output (to see what the flags do). Questions about the syntax can be posted to as an https://github.com/itc-wgtools/cPP-Tools/tree/master/User%20Guidance[Issue] to that WG.
=== BIO-iTC Workflow The BIO-iTC generally utilizes a GitHub workflow for accepting new changes into the documents. An outline of this workflow can be found at the https://itc-wgtools.github.io/admin-guide/Maint-Project-Flow.html[iTC Documentation Workflow] page provided by the iTC Team Tools WG.
