IJB-C protocols outdated and incomplete

When downloading the original data from IJB, the structure of the protocol files have changed. When I run an ls -R IJB-C/protocols/ in the main directory of the downloaded and extracted IJB folder, I obtain:

IJB-C/protocols/:

The currently implemented protocol files are located in IJB-C/protocols/archive. The new files have a much easier structure.

Currently, only the 1:1 protocol is implemented, which would correspond to the IJB-C/protocols/test1 folder. However, the database also provides many more protocols, for example, open-set identification protocols defined in IJB-C/protocols/test4. An implementation of these protocols would be great, and should be straightforward with the new protocol files.
