Under a new partnership with id3 Technologies, Tiempo's TESIC-SC smartcard chips now include match-on-card routines that enable fingerprint and facial recognition.In a statement, the firms said the routines are optimized to have a small footprint and to bring a high level of performance both in contact and contactless modes.Id3 biometric on-card comparison ensures confidentiality of the biometric data by integrating both the storage and matching subsystems into the secure integrated circuit chip that can contain data corresponding to ten fingers and one face.TIEMPO SECURE TESIC-SC chips are certified Common Criteria CC-EAL 5+ and EMVCo. Meanwhile, Id3 Technologies Match on Card Finger 5.2 routines have been evaluated by the NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology) and have demonstrated their compliance with MINEX III specifications. Typical time for a fingerprint recognition is around 100 ms.Id3 Technologies Match on Card Face 1.1 routines have been evaluated by the NIST and came among the best solutions the Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) out of about 40 participants. Both match-on-card routines show excellent performance on TIEMPO SECURE TESIC-SC chips. Typical time for a facial recognition is around 100 ms.Serge Maginot, CEO of TIEMPO SECURE declares: “By adding id3 Technologies' biometric match-on-card routines, we make TESIC-SC an always richer option for smart card manufacturers to propose feature-rich cards delivering the best-in-class performance thanks to their original design and technology.” Jean-Louis Revol, President of id3 Technologies adds: “This partnership embodies the combination of the high performance of our algorithms both in terms of timings and in terms of biometric performance, with the quality of the hardware platform, the development environment and the support provided by TIEMPO SECURE.”
