BioAPI

The BioAPI Consortium has developed industry standards for biometric application interfaces. According to their specification, a biometric vendor may be called "BioAPI compatible" when he supports a certain subset of the functions specified. To use those BioAPI compliant functions, the vendor has to provide a so called "Biometric Service Provider" module, abbreviated BSP.

BioID provides a BSP which supports, among others, the following major functions for BioAPI 1.1:

  • Capture
  • CreateTemplate
  • Enroll
  • Process
  • VerifyMatch
  • Verify
  • Identify (with some restrictions)
