Siemens CardOS 4.3B Cards
Crypto cards with card operating system CardOS from Siemens can be used for a wide variety of applications, including biometric verification. There are a lot of possibilities to realize a biometric verification system:
Use the card as an unspoofable identifier and pointer to the user-specific biometric reference data in a central data base
For more privacy by enabling user-revocable biometrics, use the card as an unspoofable pointer to the user-specific biometric reference data in a central data base and to deliver a secret personal key for individual runtime decryption of the associated biometric reference data during comparison.
Store the biometric reference data on the card to prevent unauthorized readout and duplication and enable user-revocability. Only the application has access to the biometric reference data which are used for comparison outside the card in a protected environment.
In systems where the acquisition of biometric data is under full control of the user (like in a cell phone), privacy may be further improved by storing and matching the biometric data on the card, but at the cost of biometric performance.
For highest requirements, a combination of biometrics, smart card, and password may be chosen.
