Benefits of the Fingerprint SDK for businesses
When combined with other features, such as the Multibiometrics API Package and the Quality Package, the Fingerprint SDK becomes a critical component in combating fraud. Key advantages include:
- Accuracy in biometric verification: with advanced algorithms, the software minimizes errors in user identification and authentication.
- Enhanced user experience: the SDK's precise biometric collection makes authentication faster and more efficient.
With these benefits, companies across various industries can strengthen process security and protect their systems against fraud.
Examples of applications for the BioPass ID Fingerprint SDK
The feature offers advanced solutions. However, to ensure a fully reliable, practical and efficient process, it is necessary to integrate the Fingerprint SDK with other technologies.
Physical and digital access control
In corporate environments, access control ensures that employees move only where necessary. By combining the Fingerprint SDK with a matching API, it is possible to securely manage the entry and exit of individuals.
🎯 Use case: access to restricted areas without the need for badges or manual authentication.
Identity validation
In the financial sector, biometric authentication protects sensitive data and prevents fraud. The Fingerprint SDK, combined with the Multibiometrics API, allows clients to securely access apps, authorize payments, and perform financial transactions.
🎯 Use case: digital signature with biometric confirmation and ATM access without physical cards.
User identification
In healthcare, biometrics help ensure precise identification of individuals, reducing administrative errors and preventing fraud. The Fingerprint SDK, paired with the Quality API, enables reliable biometric authentication.
🎯 Use case: secure patient identification for authorizing medical exams and hospital admissions.
Complete Implementation of the BioPass ID Fingerprint SDK in 4 Steps
The Fingerprint SDK includes detailed documentation, making it easy to quickly integrate the feature into your application. Check out more details below:
1. Prerequisites
Development environment:
- Java: Version 17 or higher
- Kotlin: Version 1.9.0 or higher
- Gradle: Version 8.6 or higher
- Android Gradle Plugin: Version 8.4.0 or higher
Physical device: requires a real device with a camera. Not compatible with emulators.
License key: a license key is required for use. Access the BioPass ID dashboard to request one.
Internet connection: an active internet connection is necessary for license verification.
2. Project configuration
Add dependencies:
In the app/build.gradle file of your project, include the following dependencies:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.biopassid:dlibwrapper:1.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.camera:camera-core:1.3.4'
implementation 'androidx.camera:camera-camera2:1.3.4'
implementation 'androidx.camera:camera-lifecycle:1.3.4'
implementation 'androidx.camera:camera-view:1.3.4'
implementation 'com.biopassid:fingerprintsdk:2.1.1' // Versão mais recente
}
Configure Repositories:
In the settings.gradle file, add the PackageCloud repository:
repositories {
maven {
url "https://packagecloud.io/biopassid/dlibwrapper/maven2"
}
maven { url "https://packagecloud.io/biopassid/FingerprintSDKAndroid/maven2" } }
Set the minimum SDK Version:
Still in the app/build.gradle file, adjust the minimum SDK version to 24 or higher:
android {
...
defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 24
... }
...
}
3. SDK Initialization
After configuring the project, initialize the SDK in your code:
Import the SDK:
import com.biopassid.fingerprint.FingerprintSDK
Initialize with the license key:
In the onCreate method of the main Activity, add the following:
Inicialize com a chave de licença:
No método onCreate da Activity principal, adicione:
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
...
FingerprintSDK.initialize(this, "SUA_CHAVE_DE_LICENÇA")
…
}
Replace "your-license-key" with the key obtained from the platform:
4. Fingerprint capture
You can capture the fingerprint by following these steps:
Implement the listener:
Create a class that implements:
FingerprintCaptureListener:
class FingerprintCaptureHandler : FingerprintCaptureListener {
override fun onCaptureSuccess(fingerprintBitmap: Bitmap) {
// Manipule a imagem capturada
}
override fun onCaptureError(error: String) {
// Handle capture errors
}
}
Start the capture:
In your code, call the capture method:
val captureHandler = FingerprintCaptureHandler()
FingerprintSDK.startCapture(captureHandler)
Done! The fingerprint capture will be complete.
