What does SDK mean?
In the literal sense, SDK stands for Software Development Kit, which can be translated as a toolkit that gives you the ability to create new features and applications, which can be added to products that already exist or are being created.
As such, these "kits" can gather various utilities such as technical notes, libraries, database, codes, among other options to be manipulated and used according to each demand, during the progress of your applications.
This is one of the alternatives of BioPass ID, a modern platform for rapidly building biometric onboarding applications.
The SDK may include some information in its "DNA", such as:
- Testing/analysis tools.
- Editor.
- Database.
- Libraries and documentation.
- Units.
- Network protocols.
What can't be missing in an SDK?
An integrated development environment
When we talk about this term, we need to quote Semantic Data Interconnect (SDI), an editor that helps the developer write the source code of the program along with an interface for two applications that are:
Debugger: Allows you to perform tests during the execution of the program.
Compiler: Responsible for translating the source code into machine language so the program can run.
An environment emulator
The emulator's role is to present the end-user experience, simulating how they see the product.
This point needs to be highlighted, after all, we know that human beings like to explore the visual sense, especially when is being given the feeling of being in front of a demonstration of what is being searched.
Through this and other information, the developer has a broader vision and a good foundation to create new applications, necessary to arrive at their solutions.
It is necessary to mention that in addition to these items, the SDK can come accompanied by a test or a demo to advance and present the experience.
Speaking of which, have you tested BioPass ID's demos?
The benefits of the SDK
Through SDKs, companies increase their optimization and development possibilities without having to create an application from the beginning, and also, they can add the following benefits to companies:
Agility and reduced costs
Because they do not need to develop everything from scratch, those responsible for programming can increase the speed of the process by already having a material forwarded.
Since the SDK provides a starting point for these professionals, there is the saving of time and consequently of the costs and efforts committed.
Safety
Regarding the security of the digital environment, this is a task of the company that created the SDK. The recommendation is to always look for reliable options that have good responses from the market.
Integration between applications
If the company that acquires an SDK wants to combine or integrate different types of applications and software, it is also possible. This brings more autonomy and freedom to generate resources that will meet the specific demands of each client.
Do you know what an API is? The application that allows you to connect two or more types of software.
Visualization and control
The SDK managers can view and control how applications are being integrated in their own way.
User experience
By customizing the product using the SDK, the company can better satisfy the demand proposed by its customers, improving the user experience.
How does the BioPass ID SDK work?
Ready to use
It features a model of ready to use components. In addition to being fast, the implementation doesn't require much from developers because it's easily applied.
All in one
The package has features for capturing and evaluating the quality of the images that have been captured.
Low Code
It has a quick integration of biometric capture, which can be seen through the Dev Center and the demos.
Can be captured on cross-platform
On Mobile, complete components enable multibiometric captures and make deployment fast for Mobile Biometric Digital Onboarding applications.
On Desktop, as well as mobile, components are also offered to speed up the implementation and development of face-to-face biometric onboarding, which are:
- Fingerprint
- Facial recognition
- Signature
Get to know our three types of captures available:
Fingerprint capture
In addition to having the support for various brands and models of fingerprint scanners, there’s also the possibility of capturing plain or rolled fingerprints, always combined with validation and verification of the quality of the capture.
Face capture
In face capture, BioPass ID has ICAO compliance verification (ISO / IEC 19794-5), combined with auto-crop, liveliness analysis and anti-spoofing.
Signature capture
Along to quality verification and automatic clipping, we have a support for various models and brands of signature pads.
Do you already know any tools with contactless fingerprinting?
Contactless fingerprint, also known as touchless, is a unique technology for capturing fingerprints on mobile, excluding the need for sensors or some additional hardware.

With just the use of a 5mp camera with LED flash, you can generate segmented images with a resolution of 500 DPI.
This is the case with the Finger Capture Mobile SDK, a software component for building biometric capture applications for mobile devices, which can be used for both Android and IOS.
Always have the latest technology
Knowing that the digital world is constantly changing, BioPass ID offers constant updates of the SDK and documentation, innovating with the latest types of technology.
Plus, get support whenever you need it via chat, email, or phone, with the addition of having documentation and source code as an example to further improve the customer experience.
