This is a continuation of @ddlsmurf's Chipsailing CS9711 driver. The purpose of this fork is to maintain the CS9711 driver by regularly rebasing its code and the underlying sigfm MR onto subsequent libfprint releases until both are merged upstream. Bug reports for the driver code itself and contributions (including distribution specific installation instructions) are welcome.
No garantees are made by this author as to the validity and security of this code, while this author is very happy with the result, it should not be used for anything serious without serious testing.
LibFPrint was originally developed as part of an academic project at the University Of Manchester.
It aimed to hide the differences between consumer fingerprint scanners and provide a single uniform API to application developers.
The ultimate goal of the FPrint project is to make fingerprint scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments.
Section 6 of the license states that for compiled works that use
this library, such works must include LibFPrint copyright notices
alongside the copyright notices for the other parts of the work.
LibFPrint includes code from NIST's NBIS software distribution.
We include Bozorth3 from the US Export Controlled distribution, which we have determined to be fine being shipped in an open source project.
