1.0. Introduction
The AET65 is a composite device, consisting of a smart card reader and a swipe fingerprint sensor. The smart
card reader and the fingerprint sensor can be used independently, but combining the two technologies provide
a higher level of security in applications. The AET65’s system diagram is shown below:

AET65 System Block Diagram
The smart card reader module, which is based on the ACR38-SAM core, follows the PC/SC API standards.
For information on the smart card reader module, please refer to the AET65 Smart Card Reader Reference
Manual document (REF_AET65_v1.0).
The purpose of this document is to describe the architecture and interface of Biometric Services API (BSAPI).
This is based on UPEK’s BSAPI Reference Manual and shall cover the Application Programming Interface
related only to the fingerprint sensor. This manual describes the BSAPI and how to use the different libraries
to program the fingerprint module of AET65. The libraries are responsible for handling the communication
details, parameter conversions and error handling providing programmers a simple and consistent interface
over all possible hardware. The architecture of the BSAPI can be visualized as the diagram below:
