Overview

A common fingerprint scanning system stores, retrieves and matches biometric information on the scanner side of the system. Smartcard Finger-Match offers the match on card technology, that stores the original unique fingerprint template on the smartcard and performs fingerprint template matching in a microprocessor embedded in the card. This method ensures that personal biometric information does not transfer to an external computer as it would in a more basic template-on-card system.

The Smartcard Finger-Match Add-On allows to integrate storage and verification of fingerprint templates on a JavaCard to existing biometric systems based on VeriFinger SDK or MegaMatcher SDK. The add-on is developed utilizing a set of ISO/IEC standards to enable interoperability with and easy integration into existing smart card and/or biometrical systems.

Why Smartcard Finger-Match 

Smartcard Finger-Match Add-On provides a number of advantages over simple smartcard or fingerprint identification systems, including:

• Enhanced security. Two-factor authentication checks both the validity of the smartcard and the identity of the person presenting the card.
• Privacy. The original template remains on the smartcard, providing a safeguard against misuse of information or fraudulent scanning systems.
• Fast verification. The matching algorithm performs verification on the card in 2 seconds (on NXP JCOP family cards).
• Configurable algorithm. The algorithm can be configured to give priority to accuracy or speed and memory usage.
• Multiplatform. The add-on includes PC-side development components for Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms.
• Easy integration. Implementing the system will not require major overhauls of existing infrastructure, as the add-on is developed utilizing a set of ISO/IEC standards (7816-3:2006, 7816-4:2005, 7816-11:2004 and 19794-2:2005) to enable interoperability with and easy integration into existing smart card and/or biometrical systems.  

Add-on structure 

The Smartcard Finger-Match Add-on available in two versions:

• Standard version includes PC-side software and 3 smartcards (NXP JCOP 31 v2.2/36K) with preloaded fingerprint matching engine. The Java code of the engine is not included in this version. Additional smartcards with preloaded engine are also available.
• Java code version includes PC-side software, compiled Java code of fingerprint matching engine that can be loaded into smartcards by an integrator, and 20,000 engine licenses for smartcards. Additional fingerprint matching engine licenses for smartcards are also available.

Components of Smartcard Finger-Match Add-on are presented in the table below:

Licensing Smartcard Finger-Match Add-on

The Smartcard Finger-Match Add-on is available only to existing VeriFinger 5.0 SDK or MegaMatcher 2.0 SDK customers.

The Add-on is available as Standard version (EUR 290) or as Java code version (EUR 9,900; 20,000 fingerprint matching engine licenses for smartcards are included). Integrators can develop only an end-user product using Smartcard Finger-Match and sell/install the product to their own customers.

Standard version

The Standard version of the Add-on is intended for customers who would like to obtain smartcards with the preloaded fingerprint matching engine and use them for their applications.

The Standard version of Smartcard Finger-Match Add-on includes PC-side software and 3 smartcards (NXP JCOP 31 v2.2/36K) with the preloaded fingerprint matching engine. The Java code of the engine is not included in this version.

Smartcard Finger-Match Add-on customers can obtain additional smartcards with the preloaded fingerprint matching engine for their product installation or development at any time. Prices for additional smartcards with the preloaded fingerprint matching engine can be found here.

Java code version

The Java code version of the Add-on is intended for projects with JavaCard smartcards obtained from other sources.

A fingerprint matching engine license is required for each smartcard.

The Java code version of Smartcard Finger-Match Add-on includes 20,000 fingerprint matching engine licenses for smartcards.

Smartcard Finger-Match Add-on customers can obtain additional fingerprint matching engine licenses for smartcards. Prices for the additional fingerprint matching engine licenses can be found here.

Smartcard Finger-Match enterprise license

Smartcard Finger-Match enterprise license allows an unlimited use of the fingerprint matching engine in the smartcard products in the certain territory, market segment or project. These limitations would be included in the licensing agreement.
