> "Technology Evaluation Kits (TEKs) are used by product planners, engineers, and others who wish to evaluate AuthenTec fingerprint sensor solutions as a fit for their products or product families. This comprehensive kit showcases AuthenTec's advanced biometric fingerprint sensors, award-winning TruePrint(R) technology, and the unique Power of Touch™ capabilities. TEKs include: a fingerprint reader, matching algorithms, demonstration software, and user guides.

> Software Developer's Kits (SDKs) are essential tools for creating a software application for an AuthenTec fingerprint sensor solution. SDKs include: source libraries (DLLs), object code, algorithms, drivers, underlying API, tools/utilities/debuggers, and software developer's guides.
>
> Embedded Software Developer's Kits (ESDKs) provide the necessary software components for integrating AuthenTec's fingerprint sensor solutions into wireless devices and other embedded systems. ESDKs include: source code examples, binary code for linkable libraries, device drivers, and software developer's guides.

> Embedded Developer's Kits (EDKs) provide the hardware, software, and documentation for development of stand-alone embedded security systems. EDKs include: a user interface display and keyboard, power module, processor/sensor board, schematics, bill of materials, Gerber files, embedded software suite, programmer's guides, and a user guide."

I contacted them in mid December about some specs, no reply yet.
I think all these *DKs are only for companies that want to include
authentec hardware on their devices.
I also think that it wouldn't hurt to bug them about sending some
specs. The worst that can happen is a
rejection.
