DigitalPersona, the biometrics authentication folk, has moved its One Touch SDK to Linux so developers can create fingerprint-enabled Linux applications.

It figures it would be good for embedded Linux platforms and standalone systems in retail, finance, healthcare and time and attendance applications.

The widgetry is initially designated for 2.6 versions of SUSE and Slackware and developers can use C and C++ environments to integrate it into code that will run on PCs, servers, POS terminal or embedded devices.

The company said it would provide the source code so developers could move it to other 2.6 distributions.

The SDK runs $999.
