Synonyms
BSoC; Sensor-on-card
Definition
Smartcard that contains capabilities for performing the on-card comparison of a biometric record and also embeds the biometric capture device in the card body. In a biometric system-on-card (BSoC), the sample to be compared with the stored biometric reference is obtained directly from the embedded sensor, and all biometric processing steps are performed in the smartcard.
Introduction
The International Standard ISO/IEC 24787:2010 [1] developed by WG 11, Application of biometrics to cards and personal identification of ISO/IEC SC 17, Cards and personal identification [2], defines several architectures to integrate biometrics with smartcards, including the storage-on-card alternative (i.e., the biometric reference is stored securely in the smartcard memory and read by the external world when the verification is needed) and the on-card biometric comparison (i.e., the biometric feature vector is sent to the smartcard for performing an internal...
