The FbF bioServer is a high-speed, high-volume biometric transaction-processing engine with an objective of eliminating the time and cost required to develop and integrate a scalable biometric matching server.

The bioServer is designed to support scalable deployments ranging from a single PC-class computer to hundreds of servers distributed across a wide area network.  With a common strategy across such a large variance in operating capacity, the bioServer is able to more effectively serve as a universal model for processing biometric requests in both small scale and nation scale solutions.  Further, this scalability will allow the bioServer to more effectively be deployed in remote and distributed processing scenarios where 1,000’s of local servers are required in the absence of reliable network connectivity (e.g. developing nations and military applications). 

 FbF bioServer is comprises of various components which are:

1. FbF WCF Web Service: FbF bioServer exposes its web service to receive biometric-transaction calls from various clients. This web service sits on the core component of FbF bioServer which is responsible for all the operations done on FbF bioServer.
2. FbF Web Service (Standard Service): It is a web service running on HTTP protocol provided by FbF bioServer for quick integration of client applications with FbF bioServer.
3. FbF Matching Engine: This component is responsible for all the Identification and Verification operations done on the FbF bioServer.

Figure 1, shows the different components of FbF bioServer and how they are tied and communicate with each other. Figure also show how the client application can communicate with bioServer as per their requirement on different interfaces exposed to them.
