Important
For secure biometric sensors, only enrollments in the Virtual Secure Mode (VSM) authorized enrollment database will be able to authorize key release. This means that existing third-party secure biometric enrollment applications will not be able to enroll or perform Windows Biometric (WinBio) calls.
Note
The WinBio API surface is not supported for Windows Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) fingerprint sensors.
Windows Biometric Framework API reference pages contain detailed descriptions of functions, structures, and capabilities that can be used to create client applications and plug-ins. Reference pages are divided into the groups below.
In this section
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Client Application Reference | Functions, structures, and other types that you can use to build client applications that interact with the Windows Biometric Framework. |
| Plug-in Reference | Adapter functions, wrapper functions, and structures for creating custom plug-in adapters of three types: engine, sensor, and storage. |
