This paper provides design guidance to developers of fingerprint management applications (FMAs) that are compatible with the Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) on Windows 7 systems.

This paper is for anyone who is developing an FMA or implementing sensor-independent enrollment experiences. This paper is also for fingerprint sensor vendors who ship bundled software to run on Windows 7 and for hardware vendors who can benefit from a better understanding of how FMA developers would interact with their sensors.

This information applies for the following operating systems:
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows 7

Included in this paper:

Windows Biometric Framework Overview

Fingerprint Management Application Overview

FMA Design Guidelines

FMA Flow

FMA Installation

FMA Launch

Enrollment
