is it possible to use the touch api as to read in and authenticate fingerprints? i have an idea for a biometric app but i want to make sure the necessary api's are available first.

thanks

No - touch screens and touch pads do not have anywhere near enough resolution for this. You need an optical fingerprint reader.

No, the sensitivity of the touch interface doesn't give you the resolution to see fingerprints.
