Competitive biometric smart card advance: biz.yahoo.com This describes placing part of the biometric functions on the smart card itself, rather than using entirely off-card extraction and matching (as IDX is purported to do by an allusion in this release). The advantage to the user is not needing to key in a PIN when using the smart card. A couple of points: The PR doesn't suggest availability until mid-2000, so the production side couldn't be very close. It's more of a proof of concept situation right now. Second, we don't know if it can be done for a commercial price. Who has the biometrics here? The PR doesn't say, and I am trying to check, but given the reference to "sweeping" a finger, it matches up very well as the Thompson CSF hardware being used in NEC's Touchpass (with NEC software).
