Yes, that would indeed be very small. I knew that the MIAMI project involves mobile computing and communications applications but did not know it would include cellular phones. Do you know if this would be more like a lap-top or "portable cellular Internet terminal" type device? This new type of device is already starting to crop up and is expected to have broad impact in the future. As communications shift increasingly to the Internet, portable devices become more important. With that portability comes increased risk of compromise of important corporate and personal data.

A hypothetical application, although this is just off the top of my head and may not be at all possible, is to use a finger reader as a lock mechanism for guns. There is a lot of talk and lawsuits brewing to force the gun industry to adopt some form of lock that only allows the owner to fire it. There are mechanical locks that must be keyed in prior to firing but those have been criticized as taking to long to arm during critical situations. An automatic lock release via finger or palm print reader would be ideal if it could be gotten down to a very compact size and low power. That is a pie in the sky possibility for the delSecur device.
