OSS BioFoundry®
Standards-based Biometric Solutions Made Simple
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.
BioFoundry® Suite
OSS Nokalva offers a suite of biometric development tools, BioFoundry®, that
reduces solution development and lifecycle costs by simplifying the task of being
biometric standards compliant. Biometric application developers, system integrators,
and biometric device vendors can rapidly build powerful, yet easy to maintain,
solutions that are BioAPI, X9.84, and CBEFF compliant.
BioFoundry® BioAPI
a full implementation of the standard BioAPI Specification framework. BioAPI supports all of the standard BioAPI core functions, as well as client-server operations, streaming, callbacks, and GUI-control callbacks.
BioFoundry® BSP Builder
a tool that enables vendors of biometric hardware devices and biometric algorithms to easily create fully BioAPI-compliant biometric service providers (BSPs) which implement all of the standard features of BioAPI BSPs, including enrollment, verification, identification, database management, and BSP-to-BSP streaming.
BioFoundry® X9.84
a full implementation of the ANSI X9.84 standard providing an easy-to-use API that enables applications to easily perform cryptographic operations on biometric data.
To meet the biometrics market's growing demand for standards compliance, look no further than the full featured, affordable BioFoundryŽ suite of tools.
Biometrics System Overview
The following figure presents an overview of a biometrics system which includes the BioFoundryŽ components, the BioAPI framework, a BSP built using the BSP Builder, and the X9.84 API. The figure depicts the interactions between these components, the application, the devices, and a database.
