Perhaps I don't understand the equipment; I thought that it took an initial (enrollment) photo of the owner, who then carried along his template on the smart card. Are you saying that the card then provides the challenge (i.e., the owner must continue to place his finger on the card to see if there is a match) at the time it is read in a smart card scanner? How can this work physically? Won't the card be in a reader when the user needs to put down his finger on the card?

If, somehow, that system could work as I think you are describing it, it still has the enrollment fraud problem. If it doesn't work as you suggest, it can't authenticate at POS, as well.
