It can then, only grant access to the connected computer by using the traits of that person's fingerprint. Biometrics introduce a level of security which is difficult to match and even more difficult to circumvent. If a

Biometric access control was one of the hot themes among exhibitors at the recent RSA Security Conference in San Francisco. Several companies showed off their wares, which include a back-end system for integrating biometric authentication into existing systems as well as readers for fingerprints and palms. Passwords are not the best of security solutions, as enterprises [...]

Once data is scanned it [...]

When I first heard, "tamper-proof biometric document," it was in reference to dealing with illegal immigrants. My first thought was, "Chip in your hand." But a quick search on google revealed that the phrase is being taken far more seriously that I thought. It looks like we're going to have to deal with chips in humans no matter what. Bummer.I guess the idea is to catalogue all people, and track them with satellites. Once you do that, you can easily find lost hikers, kidnap victims, escaped convicts and illegal immigrants. But isn't it a fascist technique?

Whilst there are two diametrically opposed camps as far as the true level of security offered by biometric methods of protection (a UK newspaper actually managed to bypass such protection with something as simple as a photocopy of a fingerprint as I recall) there's no doubt that biometric protection offers another all important line of defence when it come to data protection - and, in this respect, the new SmartSTIK USB flash drive from BioMETRX is sure to gain attention from those with data to safeguard.

Israel based ClassifEye developed new fingerprint authentication technology that can be installed on any mobile phone with a camera, eliminating the need for additional hardware and therefore reducing costs and accelerating distribution.

The Times Online (July 24) had a brief news item: Pupils fingerprinted Schools will be able to fingerprint pupils for the dinner queue, library and registration, in accordance with data protection guidance issued yesterday. Jim Knight, the Schools Minister, said the move would clarify matters for head teachers. Parents will be able to exclude their children from the system. ... and Guidance on how the Data Protection Act 1998 applies to the use of biometric data in schools has been published by Becta, the Government's schools ICT agency. Crucially, Becta's press release states:It advises schools to fully involve parents in any decision to introduce biometric or fingerprint technology to run cashless lunch queues, school libraries and attendance systems. And the guidance underlines that headteachers and governing bodies should be clear and open with all parents and pupils about this and all aspects of their education. >>Technorati tags: biometric data; schools; NIR>>IceRocket tags:

Singapore's biometric passport could be compromised as it follows the same International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)-recommended standard for machine-readable passports as the UK, which recently reported a security breach. Glaring weaknesses in the UK's biometric passport system were uncovered and reported early March by the Daily Mail newspaper, in an experiment with the [...]

I read with great concern the news that up to 3,500 schools use biometric software to record the data of approximately three quarters of a million children. It is I presumed, the thin end of the wedge, a practice that this government will encourage in their own interest, and another means of gathering personal information.Then I read the item on broken biometric passports in The Register. Apart from a mixture of alarm (that millions of people may get needlessly and interminably stopped at passport control - a service which apparently is destined to slow to a standstill - literally - as biometric data gets checked "Immigration Officers will, until September 2007, have to leave the front desk to undertake additional checks of the digital signature using the readers located in back offices.") and relief (that the system will never work), I was left with the thought that:... if schools can manage it, perhaps government should consult with them about how it can be done!Of course (I suppose)
