Interoperable biometric API for mobile devices

Abstract

The development of biometric applications in mobile devices will require the use of a standard API in order to reach a high level of interoperability. For those mobile devices where their applications are developed in Java (e.g. Android based systems), the use of BioAPI Java is a solution. This paper shows how BioAPI Java can be applied to mobile devices, as well as the needs for further improvement to provide a larger adoption of this future standard.
