1 Scope
This part of ISO/IEC 19795 establishes a mechanism for measuring the core algorithmic capabilities of biometric comparison algorithms running on ISO/IEC 7816 integrated circuit cards. Specifically, this part of ISO/IEC 19795
-
— instantiates a mechanism for on-card biometric comparison testing;
-
— standardizes procedures for the measurement of the accuracy of on-card biometric comparison implementations running on object-based, test-specific sample cards;
-
— standardizes procedures for the measurement of durations of the various operations; and
-
— gives examples for matching ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005 compact card minutiae templates.The following are specifically not within the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 19795:
-
— procedures for securing the communications channel, including cryptographic protection of the biometric templates;
-
— procedures for protection of sample or template integrity using digital signatures;
-
— authentication of the card and reader;
-
— selection or use of transmission protocols (e.g. contactless);
-
— profiles of specific data interchange standards;
-
— procedures for evaluation of readers, including performance, conformance and interoperability;
-
— procedures for evaluation of ruggedness or durability of the card;
-
— on-card template generation (e.g. extraction of minutiae from images),
-
— template update or adaptation;
-
— formal conformance tests of ISO/IEC 7816-4 and ISO/IEC 7816-11;
-
— testing of devices not conforming to ISO/IEC 7816, including all system-on-card devices.
