Hello,

I am using JCOP31bio and I want to make a fingerprint matching on the card. I would like to know want type of data should I use to do the matching(how long is the array, it is a specific format etc). I don't have a fingerprint reader yet and I don't know what kind of data it is sending to the card.

Well, I have not the insight, but first you generate some data which must match by initial parsing your finger. This data consists of chunks containing the "minutia" information, describing the fingerprint or whatever. This data depends on the you, how you do the enrollment. Look the init update and final methods of the OwnerBioTemplate. At verification you only match the array(s) against the just scanned finger. All are a part of them must match.

This is all mentioned in in the Java Card BIO API.

But, all biometric systems are insecure. At the moment biometric is only a toy and it is easy to forge fingerprint and you cannot exchange fingerprints very often (10 tries only) if the fingerprint is stolen (Which is easy). Apart from this biometric system tell too much about the owner. Beyond the identity ypou can see what he has done (wounds on the finger), if he has drunk (iris scans or blood) or illnesses (blood).
