Reason being, the place I work at provides some biometric solutions to customers, and the devices we use offer both verifying and identifying. After much testing, we *never* now use identification, as it is not all that uncommon for two people to have fingerprints that will identify as each other. When you are trying to identify one person out of > 100, the chances of two fingerprints from different people matching seem to be quite high. I would not recommend using fingprint logins on any sort of system you want to be secure - only on systems where the novelty factor is of importance :) _______________________________________________ fprint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.reactivated.net/mailman/listinfo/fprint
