Biometrics authentication provides a higher level of security, unparalleled
user convenience and lower total cost of ownership. Users that tend to forget or
to write down PINs can benefit from the unrivaled convenience afforded by
authenticating with using the biometrics factor. Users and enterprises are
assured a high level of security because of the non-repudiation factor -- the
fingerprint biometric provides proof of the integrity and ownership of data or
transaction. The cost of managing lost or blocked PINs is also reduced.
The term Match-On-Card is used by Gemalto’s partner, Precise Biometrics. This term means that the fingerprints of the user are stored securely in the smart card and are verified, at each biometric authentication, by the smart card itself. Therefore the fingerprints never leave the smart card secure zone and cannot be read from the card in any way. Match-On-Card is the only technology ensuring privacy of the biometrics characteristics of the user. Other technologies such as Match-on-PC or Match-on-Reader or Match-on-Server are much more vulnerable to security attacks.
