PARAMETERS

The parameter definitions are the same for the API and the SPI.

`ModuleHandle` (input)		The handle of the attached HRS service provider.
`MaxFARRequested` (input)		The requested FAR criterion for successful verification.
`MaxFRRRequested` (input/optional)
		The requested FRR criterion for successful verification. A NULL pointer indicates that this criterion is not provided.
`FARPrecedence` (input)		If both criteria are provided, this parameter indicates which takes precedence: `CSSM_TRUE` for FAR, `CSSM_FALSE` for FRR.
`ProcessedBIR` (input)		The BIR to be verified.
`Population` (input)		The population of BIRs against which the `Identify` match is performed.
`Binning` (input)		A Boolean indicating whether `Binning` is on or off. Binning is a search- optimization technique that the service provider may employ. It is based on searching the population according to the intrinsic characteristics of the biometric data. While it may improve the speed of the Match operation, it may also increase the probability of missing a candidate.
`MaxNumberOfResults` (input)		Specifies the maximum number of match candidates to be returned as a result of the 1:N match. A value of zero is a request for all candidates.
`NumberOfResults` (output)		Specifies the number of candidates returned in the `Candidates` array as a result of the 1:N match.
`Candidates` (output)		A pointer to an array of `CSSM_HRS_CANDIDATE_PTRs` corresponding to the BIRs identified as a result of the match process (that is, indices associated with BIRs found to exceed the match threshold). This list is in rank order, with the highest scoring record being first. If no matches are found, this pointer will be set to NULL. If the `Population` was presented in a database, the IDs are database IDs; if the set was presented in an in-memory array, the IDs are indexes into the array.
`Timeout` (input)		An integer specifying the timeout value (in milliseconds) for the operation. If this timeout is reached, the function returns an error, and no candidate list. This value can be any positive number. A `?1` value means the service provider’s default timeout value will be used.

DESCRIPTION

This function performs an identification (1-to-many) match between a ProcessedBIR and a set of stored BIRs. The ProcessedBIR is the ‘‘processed’’ BIR captured specifically for this identification. The population that the match takes place against can be presented in one of three ways:

In a database identified by an open database handle
Input in an array of BIRs
In the ‘‘default’’ database of the BSP (possibly stored in the biometric device)

The application must request a maximum FAR value criterion for a successful match, and may also (optionally) request a maximum FRR criterion for a successful match. If a maximum FRR value is provided, the application must also indicate, via the FARPrecedence parameter, which criteria takes precedence. The FARAchieved and, optionally, the FRRAchieved are returned for each result in the Candidate array.




	NOTE: Not all service providers support 1:N identification. Depending on the service provider and the location and size of the database to be searched, this operation can take a significant amount of time to perform. The number of match candidates found by the service provider is dependent on the actual FAR used.

RETURN VALUE

A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values represent an error condition.

ERRORS

Errors are described in the CDSA Technical Standard.
