A multiplatform Java wrapper for the BioAPI framework

We present a solution for the development of multiplatform and web-oriented Java applications for biometric authentication based on the BioAPI framework. Our proposal is a single Java Native Interface wrapper that is compatible with the BioAPI instantiations of Windows and Linux/Unix operating systems. Following a study of existing wrappers, we extended the open-source Linux/Unix wrapper to include Windows support. In order to show the utility of this multiplatform Java wrapper, we discuss some of its possible uses and present a real-life application.
