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.
