MINEX II - Performance of Fingerprint Match-on-Card Algorithms - Evaluation Plan

Published

Author(s)

Patrick J. Grother, Wayne J. Salamon

Abstract

The MINEX II evaluation plan instantiates a complete mechanism for the measure of speed and the core algorithmic capabilities of fingerprint matching algorithms running on standardized ISO/IEC 7816 smart cards. The document includes an ISO 9899 "C" API specification for off-card testing of on-card algorithms, and a complete set of 7816 APDU's suitable for cross-checking the results against the off-card reference implementation. The algorithms compare conformant instances of ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005 fingerprints and return matching scores suitable for examining Type I and II error tradeoffs.
