Biometrics have become important for authentication on
mobile devices, e.g. to unlock devices before using them.
One way to protect biometric information stored on mobile
devices from disclosure is using embedded smart cards (SCs)
with biometric match-on-card (MOC) approaches. Com-
putational restrictions of SCs thereby also limit biometric
matching procedures. We present a mobile MOC approach that
uses offline training to obtain authentication models with
a simplistic internal representation in the final trained
state, whereat we adapt features and model representation
to enable their usage on SCs. The obtained model is used
within SCs on mobile devices without requiring retraining
when enrolling individual users. We apply our approach to
acceleration based mobile gait authentication, using a 16
bit integer range Java Card, and evaluate authentication
performance and computation time on the SC using a pub-
licly available dataset. Results indicate that our approach
is feasible with an equal error rate of ∼12% and a
computation time below 2s on the SC, including data
transmissions and computations. To the best of our
knowledge, this thereby represents the first practically
feasible approach towards acceleration based gait
match-on-card authentication.
