BioLink releases a biometric product supporting smart-card readers

BSDK 5.2 is a set of tools for independent developers and system integrators to integrate BioLink biometric identification into their applications by using the following functions: scanning fingerprints, converting the obtained fingerprint images into digital templates and matching the live fingerprint produced to the template stored in the database.

BSDK 5.2 supports a wide range of programming languages and platforms (including C, C++, .NET, Visual Basic and Delphi), provides GUI based on ActiveX, and can be used with high-level programming languages Visual Basic Script or JavaScript.

The new version is able to generate multi-finger templates compatible with BioLink’s large-scale biometric identification solutions, such as AMIS (Automated Multi-biometric Information System). Apart from purely biometric scanners, BioLink SDK 5.2 is compliant with a combined device offered by BioLink – a fingerprint scanner with a smart-card reader able to do two-factor authentication. The device can be used either as a biometric scanner, smart-card reader or both. Support for two-factor authentication opens new implementation opportunities for BioLink’s biometrics.

The licensing scheme for BSDK 5.2 has also been expanded: SDK can now be licensed on a particular workstation with serial numbers and activation via the corporate website (http://activation.biolinksolutions.com).
