Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/

Introduction
On-card biometric comparison provides a more secure biometric verification method than off-card biometric
comparison, as the comparison is executed inside the integrated circuit card (ICC) and the biometric
reference is never revealed outside the ICC. ISO/IEC 24787-1 specifies a set of requirements for implementing
biometric comparison inside the ICC. An ICC application that claims conformance to ISO/IEC 24787-1 fulfils
a set of requirements outlined in this document. The requirements are established for on-card biometric
comparison in both a sensor-off card and a Biometric System-on-Card, as defined in ISO/IEC 24787-1.
