BioIDENTICA® SDK
| BioIDENTICA®
SDK allows a simple integration of fingerprint technology into any existing
or new application which profits by personal authentication. The software
integrator need not worry about sensing hardware devices or compatibility
requirements for mixing different devices. This is all managed by |
 |
BioIDENTICA®
SDK which guarantees
proven top-class recognition
performance! Many years of mass market experience resulting in several
100k of PC installations guarantee high reliability. Here are several application
examples for successful implementations by our customers: |

|
| Licensing
means to get the authorization to use our software. When licensing our
SDK components, always the same basic principle applies: Only the number
of copies of the BSP components from our SDK, which are dedicated for the
use on equally many computers, counts. (The BSP = "Biometric Service Provider"
mainly comprises the recognition algorithms and is delivered in form of
a DLL.) It does not matter whether the computer is a multi processor system,
a client, or a server. Also, the number of different applications is irrelevant.
For each copy, a license unit is required. |
|
| When purchasing the SDK,
you gain one Basic License Unit for use on your development computer. Principally,
it is even possible to delete the BSP components on your development PC
after finishing the development and to transfer them to another computer
for operation with your application. |
|
| If you want to use the BSP
components on more than one computer, you need Additional License Units
which are to be acquired separately. |
|
|
| To achieve this, there are
two possibilities: |
|
| • |
You purchase cumulative
Additional License Units (ALUs). The more ALUs you need, the cheaper the
individual one becomes. Here, the total number of ALUs you hold after a
purchase, will be crucial. As for pricing, generally the hundredfold quantity
of ALUs will only cost the tenfold! |
| • |
You purchase non-cumulative
Additional License Units together with an according number of sensor devices.
The minimum order quantity is 10. This model may be favored since normally
for each sensor device exactly one BSP is required. |
|
|
| As a rule of thumb, it is
cheaper to acquire the Additional License Units bundled with hardware,
see blue curve in the diagram. In particular cases, this depends on the
hardware product and the quantity. As a matter of course, both license
models may be mixed. |

|
| In the evaluation study
"Biofinger I" of the "Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik"
(BSI) the parent fingerprint algorithm A4
of the BioIDENTICA® SDK gained
the top position. The lower a diagram bar for a specific sensor, the lower
the False Rejection Rate (FRR) at a given False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of
1%. The BioIDENTICA® algorithm
shows the lowest mean value over all sensors: |
