BSAPI SDK for Linux

SDK with wide range of functions and support for most of UPEK devices. BSAPI is not based on BioAPI standard, thus there is no need to install BioAPI framework - BSAPI is just single library! The SDK comes with documentation and C++ sample program. Authentication module for PAM is NOT included! This SDK is designed for experienced developers, it is useless for common Linux users.
