ISO/IEC 19795-7:2011 establishes a mechanism for measuring the core algorithmic capabilities of biometric comparison algorithms running on ISO/IEC 7816 integrated circuit cards. Specifically, ISO/IEC 19795-7:2011

• instantiates a mechanism for on-card biometric comparison testing;
• standardizes procedures for the measurement of the accuracy of on-card biometric comparison implementations running on object-based, test-specific sample cards;
• standardizes procedures for the measurement of durations of the various operations;
• gives examples for matching ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005 compact card minutiae templates.

The following are specifically not within the scope of ISO/IEC 19795-7:2011:

• procedures for securing the communications channel, including cryptographic protection of the biometric templates;
• procedures for protection of sample or template integrity using digital signatures;
• authentication of the card and reader;
• selection or use of transmission protocols (e.g. contactless);
• profiles of specific data interchange standards;
• procedures for evaluation of readers, including performance, conformance and interoperability;
• procedures for evaluation of ruggedness or durability of the card;
• on-card template generation (e.g. extraction of minutiae from images);
• template update or adaptation;
• formal conformance tests of ISO/IEC 7816-4 and ISO/IEC 7816-11;
• testing of devices not conforming to ISO/IEC 7816, including all system-on-card devices.
