Java Card has benefited from interoperability both at the binary and the Application Programming Interface (API) level. Biometric technologies can build on this foundation by way of a high level and biometric neutral on-card API. The Java Card Forum has addressed this need with a concise internal application programming interface within the Java Card. Specifically, this API supports secure biometric Match-on-Card so that sensitive biometric data never leaves the card, all while consuming a minimal footprint of memory. This paper describes the requirements, rationale and design of a biometric API for Java Card that evolved under the purview of the Java Card Forum Biometric Task Force and the Biometric Consortium Working Group.
