How to implement Fingerprint Scanner with Java? Please provide code for the same?

Question

Currently I am working on my academic project which is Java Web Application. In this project I need to store fingerprints of user initially and again verify the user validation by fingerprints. Is there any built-in Class available for the same or is there any API available? And please provide code for Fingerprint matching application. I am using JSP pages for this web application.

Thanks In Advance...🙂

Answer 1

First of all, biometrics like fingerprints and such are private data and it is not recommended to store them or send them through websites.
Your first problem comes with the need of physical hardware that can actually read the fingerprint. Most devices do not include this, so not many people will be able to use the website. On top of that, I doubt the biometric info is handled through java. Most probably it is done near the software kernel in some C variant. This forces you to use java bindings to the library that takes in the input.
Maybe start searching for the libraries that use the biometric info in your target device and use or make some bindings to it.

ok thanks for your answer.
But I'm doing this project for my own. I will use physical device i.e. biometric fingerprint scanner. I'll search code online. And as per my knowledge many Indian Government websites uses Java, for biometric information.
