Overview

This is the API that must be implemented to participate in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Proprietary Fingerprint Template III Evaluation (PFT III).

Implementation

A pure-virtual (abstract) class called PFTIII::Interface has been defined. Participants must implement all methods of PFTIII::Interface in a subclass, and submit this implementation as a shared library. The name of the library must follow the instructions outlined in the test plan, and be identical to the required information returned from PFTIII::Interface::getIdentification(). A test application will link against the submitted library, instantiate an instance of the implementation by calling PFTIII::Interface::getImplementation(), and perform various template creation and comparison operations.
