Biometric Fingerprint SDK

This is a Guide for Enterprise Decision Makers to assist them when Planning and Sourcing for a Biometric Fingerprint SDKs to implement their Back-End Fingerprint Authentication infrastructure.

I have previously written the following Blog Post, Linux Biometric Server Authentication. Please check it out after reading this one if you are planning on doing Fingerprint Authentication on a Linux Server.

Congratulations on successfully developing your Biometric Software Application. The first hurdle is out of your way! Did you know that how you implement the Back-End Fingerprint Authentication could make or break your Biometric Software Application?

Fingerprint Authentication is the beginning of many problems for seemingly many good Biometric Software Solutions.

Fingerprint Authentication issues are not so apparent until the Software Application that you Developed or Integrated with Biometrics has been stretched to the Limits in production.

This Guide here will explore some unforeseen challenges and snares that lay ahead in waiting that you probably were not aware of and recommend to you renowned industry Biometrics SDKs that you could consider for implementing your Back-End Fingerprint Authentication to mitigate these issues.

Issues that your Organization will Start to Struggle with in regard to Fingerprint Authentication before not so long

When you Buy Fingerprint Scanners, most Biometric companies will also issue you with a Proprietary Fingerprint SDK that works with their Devices.

This Fingerprint SDK will help you to integrate your Software Application with their Fingerprint Scanner and will be OK for the most basic tasks.

It will help you to Capture Fingerprints, Enroll Fingerprints, Verify Fingerprints and Identify Fingerprints.

However, this is just sufficient enough to make your Software Application operational with their Fingerprint Scanners.

For small scale in house software applications, this type of Fingerprint SDK from the Fingerprint Scanner company is OK until you exceed its limits and that is when you are going to begin to see all or a combination of the following. See below.

The following are Problems that your Organization is likely to Face with your current proprietary Fingerprint Authentication SDK in the near future. They are;

Biometric Fingerprint Identification Starts to Take Too Long to Complete.
Biometric Fingerprint Identification Randomly Returns the Wrong Persona ID
You Realize after some time that you Need More RAM Memory for your Biometric Fingerprint Authentication Server Processing Capabilities
You Realize after some time that you Need More Hard Disk Space for Saving More Enrolled Users and their Biometric Fingerprint Data
In instances where you want to integrate your Software Application with other Enterprise solutions you may find that your Biometric Fingerprint Image Data’s proprietary Formats are not compatible with industry standards Formats like ISO/ANSI formats
When you introduce Biometric Fingerprint Scanners from other Manufacturers you realize that the Biometric Fingerprint Capture and Enrollment SDKs are not interoperable and that you have to overhaul one type of brand over the other
Proprietary Biometric Fingerprint SDK is limited in Features and Capabilities e.g. can only Capture Fingerprint images but cannot access a Database to save Fingerprint image Data or that it Does NOT provide a provision for converting Captured Fingerprint Images Data to industry standards Formats like ISO/ANSI formats.
The Proprietary Biometric Fingerprint SDK only supports a particular Platform e.g. Microsoft Windows Operating System only but you want to run Fingerprint Authentication on a Linux Server and now your Fingerprint SDK Does NOT support the Linux Operating System
If using a basic RDBMS like the Community Edition of MySQL, you Realize that you Need to Migrate Biometric Fingerprint Data to an RDBMs like Oracle Enterprise Edition that can Handle Massive Transactions without Performance Degradation
To Mitigate Security Threats and Data Breaches, you may find yourself seeking to Migrate your Biometric Fingerprint Data to a more Secure RDBMS platform where you have more levels of Controlled Access to both Users as well as for other Software Applications that access the same Database.

As you can already see, the first 8 issues are Biometric Fingerprint SDK related problems that you are likely to encounter.

To solve these issues, the best approach is to identify and choose an industrial scale Biometric Fingerprint SDK that addresses these particular issues.
