Definition

Biometric system-on-card (BSoC) is a type of on-card biometric comparison in which the entire biometric authentication, including acquisition of a biometric sample, is performed in the smart card or known as integrated circuit card (ICC). To perform BSoC comparison, a biometric sensor, which is built into the smart card, captures the biometric sample and extracts biometric data. The captured and processed biometric data is then used for enrolment or verification. The biometric verification process is executed in the smart card. Once the card completes the verification, based on the result of biometric comparison, the BSoC module updates the security status inside the smart card for other on-card applications to enable subsequent transactions. The BSoC shall never transfer any biometric sample and biometric reference data to any external terminal.

Introduction

Traditional biometric authentication systems require using a...
