International Standard

Scope

This document provides requirements for a biometric comparison methodology suitable for the on-card environment. In particular, it establishes the work-sharing on-card biometric comparison techniques that require an intensity exceeding the capabilities of integrated circuit cards (ICCs).
This document does not establish
—    architectures of biometric comparison using an ICC,
—    on-card biometric comparison, both in sensor-off-card systems and as part of biometric system-on-card,
—    security policies for on-card biometric comparison,
—    requirements for off-card biometric comparison,
—    requirements for biometric system-on-card (defined in the ISO/IEC 17839 series), or
—    modality-specific requirements for storage and comparison.
