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. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
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/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction

Introduction
In the context of this International Standard, a Biometric System-on-Card is a portable card size device
including the following entities: biometric acquisition, data processing, storage, comparison, decision.
It is a functional extension to on-card biometric comparison by physically and logically integrating the
sensor and signal processing into the card.
[1] [2] [3]
ISO/IEC 7816-11, ISO/IEC 19785-3, ISO/IEC 19795-7 and ISO/IEC 24787 include technologies with
respect to biometric on-card comparison. The Biometric System-on-Card is not yet covered sufficiently.
Industry requires a new International Standard for a fully self-contained Biometric System-on-Card
to enable interoperability and define minimum quality criteria allowing reliable operation of such a
system.
The physical integration of a biometric sensor in an ISO/IEC 7810 card withstanding torsion and
bending tests is technically challenging. This International Standard describes two types of Biometric
System-on-Card. Type S1 is a fully flexible card compliant with ISO/IEC 7810 while type S2 intentionally
deviates from some of the requirements to size and flexibility, keeping the rest of the requirements
intact, including the use of a contactless ICC interface.

Information technology — Biometric System-on-Card —
Part 1:
Core requirements
1 Scope
This part of ISO/IEC 17839 establishes
— functional architecture of a Biometric System-on-Card
— definition of type S1 (fully ISO/IEC 7810 compliant) and type S2 implementation of a Biometric
System-on-Card
— sensor types in a Biometric System-on-Card
— minimum requirements to a Biometric System-on-Card with respect to
— discriminative power (i.e. biometric accuracy criteria)
— interfaces
— power supply options
The following aspects are out of scope of this International Standard:
— off-card biometric comparison, storage-on-card
— work-load sharing implementations
— detailed specification and configuration of individual components
This part of ISO/IEC 17839 provides a functional architectural description of a Biometric System-on-
Card and describes how the interfaces are mapped using existing commands and data structures from
other International Standards.
