Overview
A common face identification system
performs matching on a PC's processor. The Smartcard Face-Match Add-on offers
match on card technology that stores the original unique face template on a
smartcard and performs face 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 Face-Match Add-On allows
developers to integrate storage and verification of face templates on a
JavaCard with existing biometric systems based on VeriLook SDK or MegaMatcher SDK. The
add-on is developed utilizing a set of ISO/IEC standards to enable easy integration
into existing smart card and/or biometrical systems.
Why Smartcard Face-Match
Smartcard Face-Match Add-On provides a
number of advantages over simple smartcard or face 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 about 0.8 seconds (on NXP JCOP family
cards).
• Low smartcard memory requirements.
Smartcards with small amount of RAM can be used, as only 525 bytes of
smartcard's RAM (transient memory) are required. The add-on was tested on NXP
JCOP, JTOP and Oberthur family smartcards. Customers can use any other
smartcard that implements JavaCard 2.2.1 and GlobalPlatform 2.1.1
specifications.
• 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 and
7816-11:2004) to enable easy integration into existing smart card and/or biometrical
systems.
Add-on structure
The Smartcard Face-Match Add-on available
in two versions:
• Standard version includes PC-side software
and 3 smartcards (NXP JCOP 31 v2.2/36K) with preloaded face 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 face matching engine that can be loaded into
smartcards by an integrator, and 20,000 engine licenses for smartcards.
Additional face matching engine licenses for smartcards are also available.
