Biometrics
are starting to make
inroads
among the
business
IT
department
s.
A special
keyboard
manufactured by Key Tronic Corporation has a
fingerprint
sensor
to unlock a
workstation
.
Identix
has a
PCMCIA
card
that pops into any available type 2 slot to
authenticate
the user by fingerprint match.
Biometric Access Corporation has a USB fingerprint scanner for desktops.
Fries Electronics
carried these back in 1999 for $99.
Acer
has a nifty
laptop
with a special
fingerprint scanner
and a modified
BIOS
that does not allow the computer to
boot
without an authorized fingerprint scan.
Siemens
has also jumped into the ring and came up with a mouse with a built-in fingerprint scanner. It keeps
unauthorized
users from
clicking
on anything.
Biometrics are becoming available by some high-end companies, so you can expect fingerprint scanners to become available cheaply for the
home
market
.
