MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 SDK provides a number of advantages over a standard fingerprint / iris / face identification system or similar products for smart cards, including:
-
ISO/IEC standards support.
MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 SDK is compliant with the following standards:
- ISO/IEC 7816-3
- ISO/IEC 7816-4
- ISO/IEC 7816-9
- ISO/IEC 7816-11
- ISO/IEC 19794-2 (compact size finger minutiae card format)
-
Easy integration.
Implementing the system will not require major overhauls of existing infrastructure, as MegaMatcher On Card SDK is developed utilizing a set of ISO/IEC standards to enable interoperability with and easy integration into existing smart card and/or biometric systems.
The process of fingerprint, iris and face enrollment during the card issuance, often connected to the avoidance of emission of duplicates, can also be developed with VeriFinger, VeriEye, VeriLook or MegaMatcher components that are fully compatible with MegaMatcher On Card.
This provides the advantages of both using the whole set of features of Neurotechnology proprietary templates format to improve the accuracy of duplicates searching and the possibility to ensure the quality of the biometric data stored into the card.
-
Cost effectiveness.
A biometric system that uses matching on card can be developed including the fingerprint, iris and face extractor components of MegaMatcher On Card.
Those have most of the same algorithm functionalities of MegaMatcher, and they are specifically designed to produce the template formats used by the cards.
This gives a cost-effective solution to both integrators who want to test MegaMatcher On Card technology without the necessity of purchasing any additional component, and to the ones who needs to replicate the client part of their matching on card based product on a relevant number of terminals, like the case of a Logon service.
-
Different smart card platforms supported.
MegaMatcher On Card can be integrated at different stages of the card life cycle for various smart cards platforms.
The post-issuance library gives the possibility to rapidly integrate matching on card in projects where time constraints are critical.
On the other hand the possibility to store the code directly into the ROM mask and the partnership with several card vendors offer a faster matching on card solution and the possibility to maintain more EEPROM available for post-issuance applications.
-
Security.
Biometric verification can replace or be combined with less secure (e.g., PIN) authentication techniques to achieve higher security.
-
Privacy.
The original template remains on the smart card, providing a safeguard against misuse of information or fraudulent scanning systems.

MegaMatcher On Card fingerprint matching engine
MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 fingerprint matching engine performs fingerprint template matching in 1-to-1 mode (verification).
Being based on the MegaMatcher technology, the engine is tolerant to fingerprint rotations, translations and deformations.
MegaMatcher On Card face matching engine
MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 face matching engine performs face template matching in 1-to-1 mode (verification).
MegaMatcher On Card iris matching engine
MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 iris matching engine performs iris template matching in 1-to-1 mode (verification).
MegaMatcher On Card Fingerprint Extractor component
MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 Fingerprint Extractor creates ISO 19794-2 fingerprint templates from fingerprint images.
MegaMatcher On Card Face Extractor component
MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 Face Extractor creates face templates in proprietary format from face images.
The Extractor can generalize a face template from several face images to improve the template's quality.
The algorithm has also the ability to recognize whether a face in a video stream belongs to a real human or is a photo, in order to improve the overall security of the system.
MegaMatcher On Card Iris Extractor component
MegaMatcher On Card 3.1 Iris Extractor creates iris templates in proprietary format from eye images.
Device Manager
Device Manager software allows to capture data from supported fingerprint readers, iris scanners, cameras and webcams.
Integrators can also write plug-ins to support their fingerprint readers, cameras or other devices using the plug-in framework provided with the Device Manager.
