Biometric authentication is becoming increasingly popular in software development, as it provides a secure and convenient way for users to access their accounts. Delphi 11.3 offers a range of tools and libraries that make it easy to implement biometric authentication in your projects.
One of the most popular biometric authentication methods is fingerprint recognition. Delphi 11.3 includes a library called TTouchManager that provides access to the device’s fingerprint scanner. Here’s an example of how you can use TTouchManager to authenticate a user’s fingerprint:
uses
FMX.Platform, System.SysUtils;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
TouchManager: TTouchManager;
begin
TouchManager := TPlatformServices.Current.GetPlatformService(TTouchManager) as TTouchManager;
if Assigned(TouchManager) then
begin
TouchManager.Capture(Self,
procedure(const ABitmap: TBitmap)
begin
// Use the captured bitmap to authenticate the user’s fingerprint
if AuthenticateFingerprint(ABitmap) then
begin
ShowMessage(‘Authentication successful!’);
end
else
begin
ShowMessage(‘Authentication failed!’);
end;
end);
end
else
begin
ShowMessage(‘Fingerprint scanner not available.’);
end;
end;
function TForm1.AuthenticateFingerprint(const ABitmap: TBitmap): Boolean;
begin
// Use the captured bitmap to authenticate the user’s fingerprint
// Return True if the fingerprint is authenticated, False otherwise
end;
In this example, we use TTouchManager to capture the user’s fingerprint and pass it to the AuthenticateFingerprint function, which performs the actual authentication. If the authentication is successful, we display a message to the user.
Another biometric authentication method that Delphi 11.3 supports is facial recognition. The TCameraComponent library provides access to the device’s camera, which can be used to capture the user’s face and authenticate it. Here’s an example of how you can use TCameraComponent to authenticate a user’s face:
uses
FMX.Media, System.SysUtils;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
CameraComponent: TCameraComponent;
begin
CameraComponent := TCameraComponent.Create(Self);
try
CameraComponent.Kind := TCameraKind.FrontCamera;
CameraComponent.Quality := TVideoCaptureQuality.HighQuality;
CameraComponent.OnSampleBufferReady := SampleBufferReady;
CameraComponent.Active := True;
except
CameraComponent.Free;
ShowMessage(‘Camera not available.’);
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.SampleBufferReady(Sender: TObject; const ATime: TMediaTime);
var
SampleBuffer: TSampleBuffer;
begin
TThread.Synchronize(nil,
procedure
begin
SampleBuffer := TSampleBuffer(Sender);
// Use the captured sample buffer to authenticate the user’s face
if AuthenticateFace(SampleBuffer) then
begin
ShowMessage(‘Authentication successful!’);
end
else
begin
ShowMessage(‘Authentication failed!’);
end;
end);
end;
function TForm1.AuthenticateFace(const ASampleBuffer: TSampleBuffer): Boolean;
begin
// Use the captured sample buffer to authenticate the user’s face
// Return True if the face is authenticated, False otherwise
end;
In this example, we use TCameraComponent to capture the user’s face and pass it to the AuthenticateFace function, which performs the actual authentication. If the authentication is successful, we display a message to the user.
Delphi 11.3 includes a library called TAudioCaptureDevice that provides access to the device’s microphone. You can use this library to capture the user’s voice and authenticate it. Here’s an example of how you can use TAudioCaptureDevice to authenticate a user’s voice:
uses
FMX.AudioCapture, System.SysUtils;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
AudioCaptureDevice: TAudioCaptureDevice;
begin
AudioCaptureDevice := TAudioCaptureDevice.Create(Self);
try
AudioCaptureDevice.OnSampleBufferReady := SampleBufferReady;
AudioCaptureDevice.Active := True;
except
AudioCaptureDevice.Free;
ShowMessage(‘Microphone not available.’);
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.SampleBufferReady(Sender: TObject; const ATime: TMediaTime);
var
SampleBuffer: TSampleBuffer;
begin
TThread.Synchronize(nil,
procedure
begin
SampleBuffer := TSampleBuffer(Sender);
// Use the captured sample buffer to authenticate the user’s voice
if AuthenticateVoice(SampleBuffer) then
begin
ShowMessage(‘Authentication successful!’);
end
else
begin
ShowMessage(‘Authentication failed!’);
end;
end);
end;
function TForm1.AuthenticateVoice(const ASampleBuffer: TSampleBuffer): Boolean;
begin
// Use the captured sample buffer to authenticate the user’s voice
// Return True if the voice is authenticated, False otherwise
end;
In this example, we use TAudioCaptureDevice to capture the user’s voice and pass it to the AuthenticateVoice function, which performs the actual authentication. If the authentication is successful, we display a message to the user.
few more examples of how you can implement biometric authentication in Delphi 11.3:
- Voice Recognition
Delphi 11.3 includes a library called TAudioCaptureDevice that provides access to the device’s microphone. You can use this library to capture the user’s voice and authenticate it. Here’s an example of how you can use TAudioCaptureDevice to authenticate a user’s voice:
uses
FMX.AudioCapture, System.SysUtils;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
AudioCaptureDevice: TAudioCaptureDevice;
begin
AudioCaptureDevice := TAudioCaptureDevice.Create(Self);
try
AudioCaptureDevice.OnSampleBufferReady := SampleBufferReady;
AudioCaptureDevice.Active := True;
except

ShowMessage(‘Microphone not available.’);
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.SampleBufferReady(Sender: TObject; const ATime: TMediaTime);
var
SampleBuffer: TSampleBuffer;
begin
TThread.Synchronize(nil,
procedure

end);
end;
function TForm1.AuthenticateIris(const ASampleBuffer: TSampleBuffer): Boolean;
begin
// Use the captured sample buffer to authenticate the user’s iris
// Return True if the iris is authenticated, False otherwise
end;
In this example, we use TCameraComponent to capture the user’s iris and pass it to the AuthenticateIris function, which performs the actual authentication. If the authentication is successful, we display a message to the user.
- Signature Recognition
Delphi 11.3 includes a library called TSignatureCaptureDevice that provides access to the device’s touchscreen. You can use this library to capture the user’s signature and authenticate it. Here’s an example of how you can use TSignatureCaptureDevice to authenticate a user’s signature:

FMX.SignatureCapture, System.SysUtils;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
SignatureCaptureDevice: TSignatureCaptureDevice;
begin
SignatureCaptureDevice := TSignatureCaptureDevice.Create(Self);
try
SignatureCaptureDevice.OnSignature := SignatureReady;
SignatureCaptureDevice.Active := True;
except
SignatureCaptureDevice.Free;
ShowMessage(‘Touchscreen not available.’);
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.SignatureReady(Sender: TObject; const ABitmap: TBitmap);
begin
// Use the captured bitmap to authenticate the user’s signature
if AuthenticateSignature(ABitmap) then
begin
ShowMessage(‘Authentication successful!’);
end
else
begin
ShowMessage(‘Authentication failed!’);
end;
end;
function TForm1.AuthenticateSignature(const ABitmap: TBitmap): Boolean;
begin
// Use the captured bitmap to authenticate the user’s signature
// Return True if the signature is authenticated, False otherwise
end;
In this example, we use TSignatureCaptureDevice to capture the user’s signature and pass it to the AuthenticateSignature function, which performs the actual authentication. If the authentication is successful, we display a message to the user.
