Who?Vision issues a PR on a software developer's kit that pretends it is equivalent to a production line shipment:

biz.yahoo.com

"Who?Vision's OEM Developer's Kit is superior to existing fingerprint biometrics products because it provides the combined benefits of replaceability, increased durability, high reliability and low cost in one product. It has the capability to eliminate privacy fears by capturing the fingerprint image, storing it locally and providing a one-to-one match instead of a one-to-many match which requires the image to be sent over vulnerable communication lines to a large database."

=====================

I have to wonder about this unbelievable strawman comparison, since it sounds like Who? is comparing its SDK to an AFIS system (one:many), rather than bio-authentication competitors (one:one), and I'd also like to know which non-AFIS competitors send images in flight -- none that I know of -- let alone without encryption or other protections. Finally, you'd think if Who? were this close to a product, Integrated Visions wouldn't have had to choose IDX for software (and maybe hardware) support for its application.

There is an awful lot of puffing in this PR, starting with equating an SDK with a real shipment of product.
