What are the features of Matcher on Card?
Advantage against other solutions • Applications which use a PIN authentication on a smart card, may be extended to biometric authentication without changing the infra structure. Example: SIM card for mobile phones. Even in the case of a loss of the phone and/or the SIM card no unauthorized access to the net is to be feared. • As the reference template need not leave the card, more privacy is guaranteed – but only if the fingerprint acquisiton system is under full control of the user (example: cell phone). Drawback There is only limited processing power and memory space available on the smart card. This requires some compromises with regard to biometric recognition performance.
