OSS BioFoundry®
Identity Assurance Solutions Made Simple

BioAPI 2.0 Conformance Test Suite Now Available

Introduction - Biometrics is an open-ended set of technologies used to recognize a person based upon physical or behavioral characteristics. Some of the most commonly measured features are fingerprints, face, hand and finger geometry, iris, signature, and voice.

Biometric methods are used to protect identities, identify individuals, and control physical and logical access. Biometrics is used in many areas - Government, Healthcare, Financial Services, Utilities, Transportation, and Information Services. Some applications of biometrics include Access Control, Time & Attendance, IT Security & Logon, Identity Management, and Data Storage & Encryption.

OSS BioFoundry® SDK - all you need to easily and quickly develop identity assurance solutions that can support any biometric modality. Our SDK offers you an unbeatable combination of benefits - deliver better solutions, faster, at lower cost.

Designed for rapid application development, the BioFoundry® SDK allows you to take advantage of popular object oriented programming languages. C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, VBScript, and JavaScript are currently supported. BioFoundry® BioAPI-Java provides Java support.

The standards-based, component design of the SDK enables your solution to support any biometric technology – e.g. fingerprint, iris, facial, voice, signature, or keystroke. You can even support non-biometrics technologies such as USB tokens, and smart cards – easing integration with legacy systems.


Biometric Technologies Tested

The BioFoundry® SDK ensures conformance to BioAPI 2.0. Easily switch in new identification technologies at any time – change device vendors, even change modalities. No costly plug-ins to develop or purchase. Preserve your investment, while benefiting from the latest technological advances and competitive pricing. With the OSS SDK, you have the power to choose the biometric that is right for you.

The SDK provides a template to help you create your own BioAPI 2.0 conformant biometric components. As part of our Solution Consulting services, we will develop or recommend such components for you. If your requirements include support for BioAPI 1.1 conformant devices, simply use the Adapter component of our SDK.

Our SDK supports identity assurance in networked environments. Your solution can support access to a remote reader, or remote verification/identification in a client/server configuration.

Whether you are developing solutions for Enterprise Logical Access, Physical Access Control, Surveillance, Secure eTransactions, or Privacy Control, the OSS BioFoundry® SDK provides everything you need - rapid application development, modality independence, vendor independence, distributed identity assurance support, BioAPI 2.0/1.1 support, and the highest quality Solution Consulting services.
