Definition

Application Programming Interface (API) for programming biometric applications and Biometric Service Providers (BSP). It is based on BioAPI (i.e., ISO/IEC 19784-1), but it takes advantage of object-oriented programming. It covers a general architecture, plus its specification in different object-oriented programming languages, such as Java or C#.

Introduction

When developing biometric applications, particularly when integrating modules from third parties, a standardized API is needed. Such standardized API allows interoperability among vendors, speeding up the development of final applications while, at the same time, contributing to increase competitiveness among companies. It also helps in reducing cost for those companies offering Biometric Service Providers (BSP), since using a common API removes the need of continuously adapting the BSP to each final application.

As an international standard BioAPI was born at...
