More information about the current version of the BioID BSP for BioAPI can be found in the corresponding
manual.
The BioID BSP V1.4 (currently in beta stage) in its base functionality is a Verification BSP. But, provided that a BioID Server is available, it is also an Identification BSP. Further on it is a monolithic BSP, which means that it is fully loaded on a single platform. Nevertheless client/server capabilities are built-in, in terms of a connection to a potentially available BioID server. Please note that in this case the communication is not performed via the BioAPI's streaming callback functionality.
The BioID BSP's global unique module identifier (UUID) is:
{00008305-4242-11d2-91e4-00104b6e4587}
The following table lists the implemented functions according to the BioAPI specification:
