Biometric recognition and authentication
You can store, manage, and retrieve fingerprint information on a BlackBerry® device by using the Biometric API that is provided
in the net.rim.device.api.biometrics package and the methods that are provided in the SmartCard class and
SmartCardSession class. For example, you can retrieve fingerprint information from a smart card and compare the
information with a scanned fingerprint.
For more information about the Biometric API and the Smart Card API, see the BlackBerry Java Application Cryptographic
Smartcard Driver Development Guide and the API reference for the BlackBerry® Java® Development Environment.
User authentication modules
You can create a module that the security infrastructure on a BlackBerry® device can use to authenticate users by using the
net.rim.device.api.userauthenticator package. For example, you can create a module that enables the use of
biometric hardware to authenticate a user to the BlackBerry device. Custom user authentication modules are designed to add
additional authentication to the standard password authentication available on the BlackBerry device.
For more information about creating user authentication modules, see the API reference for the BlackBerry® Java® Development
Environment.

Location choices for adding your application on a BlackBerry device
You can add your BlackBerry® device application to an application folder that is available with the theme on the BlackBerry
device, to a new application folder that you create, or to the Home screen on the BlackBerry device. For example, if you develop
a game, you can add your game to the Games folder on the device. If you do not specify a location, the device adds your application
to the default application folder (for example, the Downloads application folder). You can specify the location to add your
application to on devices that are running BlackBerry® Device Software 5.0 or later.
You can specify the location to add your application to by adding the Content-Folder attribute to the .jad file for your
application. For more information, see the BlackBerry Java Application Development Guide.
