A Biometrics Company
An expanding Biometrics/Security Vendor has just announced that it has officially launched its software development subsidiary. The Vendor is called "Idscan Biometrics", and the name of he software development subsidiary is called "Idscan Bespoke".
Having been in business for 4+ years, the area of specializations have been in Biometrics, Smart Cards, and Wireless Technologies, focusing in on the Bluetooth. The four main areas of focus have been:
"Passport and ID Card Reader Integration & Development
- Fingerprint & Facial Biometric Technologies
- Age Verification
- Bluetooth Technology"
The clients for software development for this Vendor have included the finance and tobacco industries, and clients in Europe and the Pacific Rim, including Australia.
Final Thoughts On Today’s Posting
This is a significant development. Many people think of Biometrics as merely the actual hardware device. But, software plays also a very important role in Biometrics, especially when it comes to a client-server topology. This is when the Biometrics Devices are all linked to a central server. All of the Biometric Information and Data are stored here, as well as the Processes and Transactions which occur in regards to the Verification and Identification of an individual.
Even the smallest of Biometric Devices such as the Flash Drives and Portable Biometric Hard Drives some with software, which is to be installed locally on the individual computer or laptop.
Software development for Biometrics has to meet the exact needs of each customer, and be flexible as well to meet the ever changing needs and Security Environment. Software development should be based upon an Open Source Model, where both the backend end and the front end, which is the database and the Graphical User Interface (also known as "GUI"), respectively.
The database contains all of the Biometric Information and Data, and the GUI allows the Biometric Administrator to process that Biometric Information and Data. In my opinion, software development for Biometrics should stay away from a Closed Source Model, the programming code becomes too bloated and proprietary, and as a result, can be very difficult to adapt to the changing times.
Watch for more Postings in the future with regards to software development work in Biometrics, so far all of the Postings have been on the hardware front.
