AB In this paper we decided to outline the most critical stages and design procedures of software support intended mainly for laboratory lessons of the Biometrics course. At the authors' institution, this course is mandatory since 2015 according to the new accreditation. Thanks to cooperation with the Institute of Forensic Science in Bratislava we gained sufficient experience in the field of analysis and utilization of biometric traits. However, this experience does not guarantee solving of all problems linked to teaching biometrics courses. Hence, we decided to design the software support using our present research results and make use of our experience in development of application and computer network software to improve the quality of biometrics-related education. The software is primarily intended for universities focusing on technology area. Nevertheless, it can be also used in training forensic experts as the software provides many possibilities to analyze properties of fingerprint patterns. In near future, after addition of necessary modules, it will be possible to deploy it in education of experts from various fields of biometrics and digital image authenticity verification.
