Why is a small template advantageous?
When the template that stores the fingerprint’s algorithm is very small, say 52 bytes, then opportunities arise to store other personal data at an economic cost. Furthermore, when the template is stored on the card rather than in the reader, its usefulness in large or dispersed multi-user sites increases. Costs are minimised as no network is required to connect to a central database and access requests are handled faster. Return to top.
