Despite the efforts of the international biometric community, the measurement of the accuracy of a biometric system is far from being completely investigated and, eventually, standardized. This paper presents a critical analysis of the accuracy and performance measurement of a biometric system. Current approaches to the problem and procedural error have been described and criticized. Finally, a methodology for the measurement of the accuracy of biometric systems with nonsymmetric matching function will be proposed and discussed.
