Scot, Is there a fee? is this a cash grab by the AMA/Intel? I can think of many ways to verify an identity, with varying degrees of security. Obviously you must use some property of the doctors' person, like an iris/retina/fingerprint to confirm the the ID. It is equally obvious that not all patient records need the same level of security so there needs to be a gradation of levels. I think it is a reasonable project to fill a valid need, but only if it is an open standard that does not depend on the use of Intel hardware....just a conformity standard so many people can make the scanners etc. this is similar to the implemntation of credit card security methods that started with thenumber and now you have the signature pressure pattern as well as the signature shape and soon all ATMs will have iris readers. Forget the ides of stealing an eyeball to access the account, the iris readers also look for a pulse as the capillaries in the eye expand and contract with the pulse. In essence they are looking for a replacement for the personal introduction they used in the old days, remotely. Bill
