At my company we have tested iris, fingerprint, and voice. I have found the fingerprint scanners and voice are the easiest to get around. Voice naturally with a recording device, the fingerprint scanner was a little harder but non-the-less just as easy. The first way is with a regular clear tape, apply the tape to the scanner, remove, then reapply. This will produce about a 20-30% yield, the second way requires a Teflon finger without prints. Tap the finger on the scanner, and it will think you the last person who used the scanner. This produced a 80-90% yield. Iris scanners are harder to trick.

I have narrowed my search to fingerprint based systems because as most of our "customers" are students, ease of use is a must and iris or voice based systems do not seem practical. Keyboards with built-in scanners are preferred because most of the devices I have found are small external devices that I imagine will grow legs and walk out the door unless there is a locking mechanism included with the device. I am looking for something that will work in conjunction with our current Windows XP workstations and Windows 2000 server w/ Active Directory; however, we will be migrated over to Windows 2003 server by the end of the summer so compatibility with 2003 server is a must. The purpose of this project is to provide the students with an alternative to remembering their password and provide quicker logon times. Any good/bad experiences with vendors are appreciated.
