fingerprint authentication into their software and
hardware designs. In only a few hours, developers can easily integrate fingerprint authentication into their
application and gain access to a full range of authentication services for their PC, embedded
computer, POS terminal or server solution. Sample code is included to help programmers

• Address compliancy
The FingerJet™ biometric matching engine provides MINEX-certified feature extraction,
as well as enrollment. The FingerJet matching engine, combined with U.are.U Fingerprint
Readers, offers accurate fingerprint recognition, low false accept and false reject rates (FAR/
FRR) coupled with fast execution time.

STANDARDS SUPPORT
The U.are.U SDK for Linux fully embraces image, template and compression
standards. In addition, the FingerJet matching engine now features a MINEX-certified
extractor. This new direction provides developers with the flexibility to make unfettered
choices of matching algorithms and the ability to comply with a growing customer
requirement for standards support.
