I hadn't thought about authentication with DNA, but ... it's definitely biometric !-) > In both cases, rotating them on a regular basis is a dangerous and expensive > process. True that! One more factor to consider when choosing an authentication method: * changing one's passwords: annoying but cheap (unless one's time is very expensive) * changing one's fingerprints: probably doable, but only with the assistance of trained (expensive) professionals, and side effects could get nasty * changing one's iris scan: not sure that's feasible, and potential side effects seem even nastier * changing one's DNA: good luck with that :-) FWIW, Tom Roche <[email protected]> [1]: http://lists.phxlinux.org/lurker/message/20160802.065246.e81553e0.en.html --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
