Hi everyone. Welcome to HeadSpin Webinar. I’m Joe Chasinga, a Software Engineer at HeadSpin. I work on device instrumentation and also the biometrics SDK for both the iOS and Android platforms.
Today, we’re going to be talking about biometric authentication Android. This topic mainly focuses on Android biometrics SDK and how to use the library package to effectively run your biometrics test.
Let’s start with talking about what really are biometrics. Biometrics are the use of users’ body measurements and calculations, like metrics or keys, as authentication, identification, or control methods. The most common forms today are fingerprint scanning – that’s really popular face recognition, iris scanning, and skeleton detection, as you might have seen with the Xbox Kinect sensors.
