Open Call Topics
Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
Standards for Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) and On-Card Comparison (OCC) solutions ensure compatibility with deployed interoperable biometric systems, enabling straightforward maintenance and upgrades, while avoiding vendor lock-in and proprietary limitations.
Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
Currently, global biometric authentication systems are widely deployed for diverse public and commercial services authorisation. Common form factor smart cards, incorporating biometric capture and comparison within the card, offer a secure, sterile, and user-friendly experience for cardholders. Standards for Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) and On-Card Comparison (OCC) solutions ensure compatibility with deployed interoperable biometric systems, enabling straightforward maintenance and upgrades, while avoiding vendor lock-in and proprietary limitations.
Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
Smart cards enabled with biometric card holder verification capabilities on a card via either On-Card Comparison (OCC) or full Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) technology each offer enhanced security, privacy, inclusivity, and public health benefits while reducing fraud and identity theft.
Impact on society (5th Open Call)
Multi-application smart cards are already widely deployed and used nowadays in eGovernment, ePayment, eHealth and other domains. Addition of biometric authentication enhances reliability (more secure than PIN), safety and convenience (hygienic, no need to touch PINpads or terminals sensor in case of BSoC especially while pandemic), reference card holder data security (no vulnerable and GDPR sensitive central database for biometrics is needed, card holder data cannot be read out from stolen / lost smart cards) and availability (users with no education in poor countries to obtain subsidy).
