Introduction
THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONALITY AND FEATURES OF THE U.ARE.U SDK.
The U.are.U SDK allows you to add fingerprint capture and recognition to applications developed for a wide-variety of
platforms. Significant features of the U.are.U SDK include:
• Performing 1-to-many fingerprint identification automatically
• Support for multiple data formats, including DigitalPersona data formats as well as ANSI and ISO fingerprint
images and minutiae data
• FingerJet Engine that meets the PIV performance thresholds for fingerprint minutiae data generation required by
NIST.
The SDK provides support for developing applications on the following platforms using the languages/frameworks
shown below (X indicates a supported combination)
.
The U.are.U SDK supports:
• Development on Windows for target devices based on Windows
• Development on Linux for target devices based on Linux or Android
What’s New?
New features in version 3.0
• Integration of web-based fingerprint capture features using Javascript and the U.are.U SDK for Windows.
• The separate TouchChip Device Add-on available in versions 2.3.x is not needed when using version 3.0 of the

How the U.are.U Manuals are Organized
The U.are.U documentation set consists of a family of books:
• The U.are.U SDK Developer’s Guide (this manual) describes the architecture and organization of the SDK plus an
overview of language/framework support.
• Platform Guides for Windows, Linux, and Android provide details about installation, requirements and code
samples for devices based on the respective operating systems.
In addition, Javadoc and Doxygen documentation provides details of the methods, parameters and data structures for
