This document provides requirements for a biometric comparison methodology suitable for the on-card environment. In particular, it establishes the work-sharing on-card biometric comparison techniques that require an intensity exceeding the capabilities of integrated circuit cards (ICCs).

This document does not establish

—？architectures of biometric comparison using an ICC,

—？on-card biometric comparison, both in sensor-off-card systems and as part of biometric system-on-card,

—？security policies for on-card biometric comparison,

—？requirements for off-card biometric comparison,

—？requirements for biometric system-on-card (defined in the ISO/IEC？17839 series), or

—？modality-specific requirements for storage and comparison.
