OSS Nokalva Announces BioFoundry®

Sep-19-04

Somerset, N.J., – OSS Nokalva, Inc., a leading developer of toolkits for building standards-based applications, announced today the availability of the BioFoundry® suite of biometric tools.

The new OSS BioFoundry® suite provides the basis for rapidly building exceptionally powerful, yet easily maintained standards-based biometrics solutions.

“The BioFoundry® suite of tools handles the complexities of the biometrics standards, reducing your development effort and allowing you to focus on your applications,” commented Alessandro Triglia, OSS representative to INCITS M1, and member of the US delegation to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37.

The BioFoundry® suite is built around the BioAPI, X9.84, and CBEFF standards, each
of which addresses an important aspect of a complex biometric system. The suite consists of three independent products:
· BioFoundry® BioAPI Framework- a full implementation of the standard BioAPI framework
· BioFoundry® BSP Builder – a tool that enables vendors of biometric devices and algorithms to easily create fully BioAPI compliant BSPs (Biometric Service Providers)
· BioFoundry® X9.84 – a full implementation of the X9.84 standard for biometric data security

The BioFoundry® suite has many benefits:
· Adherence to BioAPI, X9.84, and CBEFF standards
· Faster development of BioAPI compliant solutions
· Faster development of secure, X9.84 compliant, biometric solutions
· Faster integration of biometric components
· Reduced product life cycle costs
· Secure exchange of biometric data between standards-based applications


Bancroft Scott, President of OSS Nokalva, stated, “The BioFoundry® suite is the result of OSS’ experience and continued commitment to biometrics standards development. Our BioFoundry® division will apply the OSS Nokalva heritage in standards-based tools and professional services, to the critical new growth area of biometrics.”
