Implementing Fingerprint Authentication

Question

AES

Good afternoon.

There was a need to implement fingerprint authentication in the project. What can be used for this? I have an Authentec AES1610 scanner for testing. Drivers are only for Win7, so under Linux you need to work through fprintd or equivalents. What to read on this topic?

Answer 1

Is there already implemented software responsible for access control, for example, by magnetic keys or something else?

Answer 2

By the way, I just had an idea, if I'm getting into this, to write an extension for opera that will allow sites to use the fingerprint scanner. Is it even possible? Those. the opera should, using a scanner, take a fingerprint image and send it to the server, which will verify it (maybe I will also create an extension for php).

Answer 3

I compile files from the article www.ibm.com/developerworks/ru/library/l-libfprint/index.html
I get a Segmentation fault. What's wrong?

The device is detected, why is the library not seeing it. It used to work (though earlier there was also fprintd in the repositories)
