Package javacardx.biometry


package javacardx.biometry

Extension package that contains functionality for implementing a biometric framework on the Java Card platform. The platform must support this optional package or the optional javacardx.biometry1toN package - or both of them - only if biometry support is included in the implementation.

The javacardx.biometry package contains classes and interfaces which can be used to build a biometric server application. These classes also enable a client application on the card to obtain biometric services from the biometric server application.

  • Class
    Description
    Builds an empty/blank biometric reference template.
    The BioException class encapsulates specific exceptions which can be thrown by the methods of the javacardx.biometry package in case of error.
    The BioTemplate interface is the base interface for all biometric templates.
    The OwnerBioTemplate interface should be implemented by the applet which owns the biometric template.
    The SharedBioTemplate interface provides the means for accessing unrestricted biometric functionality, e.g., the biometric matching functions.
