I'm not sure I agree with you, Todd. That's like saying "the plastic is on sale in aisle 37" regarding the use of credit or debit cards ....dual-factor authentication requiring also a PIN ... is biometric technology perfect? By no means (and it doesn't have to be)
Well said. In comparison, my comment was hardly worth the dignity of a reply.
Understand, I don't like hub-and-spoke authentication models. Billions are being spent to validate the individual for benefit of a single host. i.e. a corporation's server. I want strong identity for everybody who chooses to use it, and available between individuals as well as the state and its corporations. What I'm seeing is always a one-way street, favoring the big guy. We're well on our way towards an economy where you can only buy or sell from the big guy. Todd
