BS ISO/IEC 17839:2014

This standard BS ISO/IEC 17839:2014 Information technology. Biometric System-on-Card is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.240.15 Identification cards. Chip cards. Biometrics

This part of ISO/IEC 17839 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 this International Standard:

• off-card biometric comparison, storage-on-card

• work-load sharing implementations

• detailed specification and configuration of individual components

This part of ISO/IEC 17839 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.
