ACS is launching a development kit, BioSIMKey Software Development Kit (SDK), in order to provide developers with a convenient and effective way to incorporate fingerprint and smart card authentication as part of their solutions. Using the simple Application Programming Interface, designers can easily integrate fingerprint authentication features into their applications. The interface could be developed quickly without any in-depth knowledge of biometrics.
 

The whole kit is priced only at US $299.
