Android will release Android Fingerprint API - See how it works?

Android 6.0 Marshmallow is publicly available to users, and Android’s developers have been adding new features for developers along the way. This week, they are releasing Asymmetric Fingerprint Dialog, a new sample demonstrating how to securely integrate with compatible fingerprint readers in a client/server environment, according to its blog.


The Android Fingerprint API protects users’ privacy by keeping their fingerprint features within the hardware on the device, guarding it from “malicious actors” and untrusted applications.

According to the Android developers blog, when a user activates his or her fingerprint reader, they’re unlocking a hardware-backed cryptographic vault. Developers can choose what material is stored in this vault, depending on what they need for an application.

This is another breakthrough for Android Operating System. A very good innovation that focuses on security of the user itself so everything you do using your phone is going to be free from any form of malicious thing such as hacking.

Great Job!
