BioCert Authenticator Lite is a biometric toolkit that integrates easily with VB compliant applications through a user-friendly ActiveX drop in. This Client/server application allows for fingerprint identification and is based on TCPIP. It supports up to 10 users.
The Lite edition of the BioCert toolkit is a fully-featured toolkit that provides all the functionality of the Pro edition, with a limitation of 10 users. However, it can be easily scaled up to the Pro edition (less than 500 users) and the Enterprise edition (20000 fingerprints). The BioCert toolkit is a client-server application that serves a single purpose, which is to identify a user and return a basic credential to be used in any ActiveX compliant applications.
The Server portion of the BioCert toolkit is based on an OLE database connection. Although the default installation includes an MS Access database to start with, MS SQL is also supported. The database structure includes a Numerical an Alpha-Numerical field and a Payload that makes it possible to hide and highly encrypt a secret value within the fingerprint template.
In conclusion, the BioCert Biometric Authenticator Lite Edition is an excellent software programming toolkit that provides a simple and effective way to integrate biometric authentication into projects. It is well-suited for students and learning programmers who wish to explore the feasibility of such a technology, while the Pro and Enterprise editions offer greater capabilities for expanding usage as necessary. With this toolkit, it is possible to achieve a high level of security by using biometric authentication technology.
