ISO/IEC WD 17839-1

Information technology — Biometric System-on-Card — Part 1: Core requirements ISO/IEC WD 17839-1

Scope

ISO/IEC 17839-1:2014 establishes

functional architecture of a Biometric System-on-Card
definition of type S1 (fully ISO/IEC 7810 compliant) and type S2 implementation of a Biometric System-on-Card
sensor types in a Biometric System-on-Card
minimum requirements to a Biometric System-on-Card with respect to

discriminative power (i.e. biometric accuracy criteria)
interfaces
power supply options



The following aspects are out of scope of ISO/IEC 17839-1:2014:

off-card biometric comparison, storage-on-card
work-load sharing implementations
detailed specification and configuration of individual components

ISO/IEC 17839-1:2014 provides a functional architectural description of a Biometric System-on-Card and describes how the interfaces are mapped using existing commands and data structures from other International Standards.
