• GENERAL DESCRIPTION Biomodule MOS is an elementary component (sub system) targeting applications combining fingerprint recognition and smart cards. The biomodule MOS manages the whole secured transactions with cards. Two different biometrics mechanisms are available :

• Embedded match on smart cards - with this technology the reference templates and the matching algorithm are stored into the smart card itself. The comparison is integrally performed inside the card, without any data export. This technology allows outstanding performances and a high security level. It offers an efficient protection of fingerprints datas. this mechanism works only with the biometrics smart cards embedding id3 matching algorithm.
  
• Embedded match on biomodule - with this technology only the reference templates are stored into the smart card. They must be exported in the biomodule MOS to be compared with the live fingerprint. In this mechanism the fingerprints protection remains good but less efficient than the previous one but in this mode any smart cards with encryption capabilities may be used.

Tanks to Biomodule MOS no fingerprints databases are required.

An biomodule MOS evaluation kit and a software development kit are available.
