SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVISIONING BIOMETRIC IMAGE TEMPLATES TO DEVICES FOR USE IN USER AUTHENTICATION

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for use in provisioning a biometric image template to a card device. One example portable communication device includes a processor, a wireless communication interface coupled to the processor, and an input device coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to transmit to a card device, via the wireless communication interface, a certificate associated with the portable communication device, whereby the portable communication device is authenticated by the card device, receive from the card device, via the wireless communication interface, a certificate associated with the card device, and authenticate the card device based on the received certificate. After the card device is authenticated, the processor is configured to capture, via the at least one input device, a biometric image of the user and provision, via the wireless communication interface, the captured biometric image to the card device.
