Licensed under the GPL version 2 or any later version (see COPYING).

API use cases
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
- User wants to use the fingerprint reader, and enroll
|
|
his fingerprints, or remove some fingerprints from the database
|
|
|
|
- Administrator wants to enroll fingerprints for a particular user,
|
|
or remove fingerprints for a particular user
|
|
|
|
- Laptop/desktop authentication:
|
|
* Check for fingerprint devices
|
|
* Check whether a particular user has any fingerprints enrolled
|
|
* Verify a fingerprint for a particular user, or, if the device
|
|
supports it, verify that the fingerprint matches against
|
|
any of the fingerprints enrolled
|
|
|
|
- Point Of Sale authentication (in a bar, the fingerprint reader is
|
|
used to see who accesses a particular point of sale/till, in place
|
|
of PIN code authentication and/or tokens)
|
|
* Given a list of users, verify which one has scanned their finger
