The design of fingerprint biometric authentication on smart card for PULAPOT main entrance system

Biometrics personal authentication utilizing fingerprints have been thoroughly studied and applied. Exploiting the unique features of a fingerprint and the pleasant way of capturing the required information permits it to be used in numerous applications. Smart card is also being widely adopted in many applications and refers as an essential platform to hold biometrics information. This paper presents a fingerprint verification that can be embedded in a smart card. The smart card plays a data storage for storing the cardholder's fingerprint data. The card holder is required to scan his/her fingerprint on a sensor. The scanned fingerprint image is then sent to the card for matching.
