This document provides requirements and general principles and specifications for a biometric comparison methodology suitable for the on-card environment.

This document establishes

—    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, and

—    security policies for on-card biometric comparison.

This document does not establish

—    requirements for off-card biometric comparison,

—    requirements for biometric system-on-card (defined in the ISO/IEC 17839 series),

—    work-sharing on-card biometric comparison (defined in ISO/IEC 24787-2), or

—    modality-specific requirements for storage and comparison.
