I use a Biometric technology that complies with Data interchange formats standards, why do I need to use BioAPI?
BioAPI and Biometric Data interchange formats standards complement each other. Data interchange formats allow Biometric records portability across different vendors and applications, so that different Biometric vendors understand each others data. For example, the Biometric data that you enroll using a Biometric technology that complies with Data interchange formats can be processed or matched using another technology that complies with the standard. BioAPI allows portability across different Biometric Service Providers. By using Biometric Service Providers that comply with BioAPI, your application becomes independent of specifics of a Biometric technology. You can replace an existing Biometric technology, or add support for additional technologies (including different Biometric modalities) without a major impact to your application. What is the BioAPI Interworking Protocol (BIP)? The BioAPI Interworking Protocol (BIP) is defined by the International Standard ISO/IEC 24708. At this tim
