So, I'm trying to build an application on the Samsung Galaxy S6 using the fingerprint scanner. I have Samsung's Pass SDK and see that it's pretty simple to authenticate a user while using the phone. However, I need to authenticate a user's fingerprints on a server. I'm not sure how to go about this. Are the fingerprints stored somewhere on the phone that I need root privileges to get to?
I'm beginning to think this is a lost cause, but any help would be appreciated.
Samsung or iPhone only provide SDK to verify 1 user (user of device) but others manufacturers provide a SDK to get fingerprint image or template.
There's some fingerprint scanners compatible with Android Platform and with SDK for Android. Scanners are plugged on USB port so you can't charge tablet and use fingerprint scanner simultaneous. For instance:
There's also some devices with integrated fingerprint scanner and with SDK to get fingerprint image or template.
