Introduction

The DigitalPersona One Touch for Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) enables integrators and developers to quickly add the power of fingerprint-based authentication to their Microsoft® Windows-based applications. DigitalPersona offers powerful SDKs which feature the highest performing and most accurate fingerprint authentication algorithms in the industry.

Features

Easy to Use Toolkits
In only a few hours, developers easily integrate fingerprint authentication into their application and have access to a full range of authentication services for their PC, embedded computer, POS terminal or server solution. Sample code is included to illustrate the capturing of a fingerprint, extracting a fingerprint template and matching fingerprint templates. Simple architecture diagrams, programming work-flow illustrations and detailed documentation enable fast integration of powerful fingerprint biometrics into customer-friendly applications.
Programmer support is available through DigitalPersona¡¯s staff of Support Programmers who will work with you to answer questions and guide you through a stress-free deployment.

Programming Options
The One Touch for Windows SDK supports C, C++, C# and ActiveX/COM languages. In addition, User Interface (UI) features, such as enrollment and customizable verification dialog boxes, eliminate having to create these modules.

Fingerprint Recognition Engine
The DigitalPersona® Fingerprint Recognition Engine provides the basic functionalities of fingerprint feature extraction, enrollment and matching. The DigitalPersona Engine combined with DigitalPersona U.are.U® Fingerprint Readers, offers the industry's most accurate fingerprint recognition, lowest false accept and false reject rates (FAR/FRR) coupled with fast execution time.

Security and Privacy
DigitalPersona has given much consideration to security and user privacy issues. Fingerprint data is encrypted everywhere along the data path offering protection from tampering and maintaining the user's privacy.

Supported Fingerprint Readers
The One Touch for Windows SDK supports the standalone DigitalPersona U.are.U 4000B Reader, the U.are.U 4000B Module designed for integration with OEM equipment and the ergonomic U.are.U Fingerprint Keyboard which includes an embedded U.are.U 4000B Reader.

Proven Technology
DigitalPersona is the trusted leader in biometrics with the world's greatest number of biometric developers and the largest set of enrolled biometric users. DigitalPersona SDKs and proven fingerprint authentication technology can be found in many custom applications around the world. Examples include banking applications, point of sale terminals in retail chains and restaurants, and healthcare solutions
