BioAPI Consortium:
The BioAPI Consortium was founded to develop a biometric Application Programming Interface (API) to bring platform and device independence to application programmers and biometric service providers. The resultant specification for a standardized API is compatible with a wide range of biometric application programs and a broad spectrum of biometric technologies. BIO-key offers two versions of our BioAPI compliant SDKs that meet and exceed this standard.
