MINEX II: Performance of Fingerprint Match-on-Card Algorithms-Phase V Report (NIST Interagency Report 7477 (Revision II))

The MINEX II trials have been conducted to evaluate the accuracy and speed of MATCH-ON-CARD verification algorithms. These run on ISO/IEC 7816 smartcards. They compare reference and verification data conformant to the ISO/IEC 19794-2 COMPACT CARD fingerprint minutia standard. The test is an assessment of the core viability of matching fingerprints (i.e. the de facto leading compact biometric data element) on personal identity credentials based on the industry-standard smart cards. The results are relevant to users of minutia templates as additional authentication factor.
