Secureye Biometric Sdk
Instead of storing the actual fingerprint image (which is insecure and takes up 50KB+), the SDK extracts minutiae points—the ridge endings, bifurcations, and dots on a finger. A Secureye template is usually only 256 to 512 bytes. This allows for lightning-fast searches across databases of millions of users.
Security is paramount. The SDK does not store raw fingerprint images (which can be reconstructed). Instead, it converts biometric data into a mathematical template (hash). These templates can be encrypted using AES-256 or stored in a proprietary secure format. secureye biometric sdk
Let’s look at a pseudo-code example of how easy the Secureye Biometric SDK is to use (C# .NET). Instead of storing the actual fingerprint image (which
// Initialize the SDK SecuGen.SGFCreator sgfCreator = new SecuGen.SGFCreator(); SecuGen.ISGFingerEx sgfFinger = (SecuGen.ISGFingerEx)sgfCreator.CreateObject("SGFingerEx");// Open the Secureye device on USB Port 1 sgfFinger.Open(0); Security is paramount
// Capture the fingerprint if (sgfFinger.GetImageEx(5000, quality) == true) // 5 second timeout // Extract the template (The magic happens here) byte[] template = sgfFinger.GetTemplateEx();
// Store this byte array in your SQL database SaveToDatabase(userID, template); // Verification later byte[] storedTemplate = LoadFromDatabase(userID); sgfFinger.Verify(storedTemplate, ref matched); if (matched) Console.WriteLine("Access Granted");
