C# - Fingerprint Biometrics

jonathanpeppers picture jonathanpeppers · Dec 14, 2009 · Viewed 15.1k times · Source

We are wanting to add support for fingerprint authentication in a .Net 3.5 application.

We currently are only using the sdk from Griaule. But this only supports like 5 usb plug-and-play devices. We are wanting to support most readers included with laptops, tablets, etc.

Is there a universal way to support many devices? I know there is a new standard starting with Windows 7, but we want to support XP and higher.

Is there even a .Net SDK out there for UPEK or Authentec devices?

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

I think its best if you develop for WBF, also if you want UPEK has an API called BSAPI that you can interop in C#.
