The trouble with biometrics
Christopher Calabrese · ;login:: the magazine of USENIX & SAGE · 1999
In the April 1999 issue of ;login:, Dario Forte presented the case for authenticting computer users with biometrics -patterns of unique physiological and behavioral traits [4]. After I read the article, I began an exchange of email with Dario about some of the little explored issues with this technology. Our probing took the form of both theorizing and prodding vendors for information. We found some things we really didn't like. This artcle presents some of them. It also presents some solution.
