That concept is exactly what I was talking about in post 25130. Question becomes what level of encryption would it take on the smartcard side and it has to be single session encryption during the authentication. Store the fingerprint in the NDS for the manufacture of new cards and you got the winning lottery number. The big problem is the reader tech in the smartcards. The best alternative, although less secure, is a two token spread spectrum rf based user scheme. In this type of scheme the user is required to have two pieces of the puzzle on him or her. Unfortunately this is also expensive due to the radio transmitter tech required. The weak link still is the human factor. Have you seen any smartcards with FP tech built in?
