Fingerprint Identification
Sunday, December 01, 2002

Just a thought. Technologists say do away with passwords, keys and cards; authenticate your identity with your voice, or your face, or your fingerprint. Great idea, right? If someone gets to know a password of yours, you can change it, but if someone works out a way to duplicate your fingerprint or voiceprint or retinal or iris ID, it seems to me you've got a big problem. There's nothing you can do. I suppose you can switch to a different finger or the other eye, but there are certain hard limits on how many times you can do that! Once you're out of fingers or eyes or whatever, you're stuck!

MeWelcome, I'm Steve Bell.

I'm currently working as Marketing and Research Manager for this organisation.


I have been writing a blog for over eight years now and (hopefully sensibly) I tend to write about the things that I know a bit about and that interest me - like Gadgets, Software, New Media, Radio, TV and Marketing.
