scope:

NEN-ISO/IEC 17839-1 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 - 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.
