There is no absolute security (some of the quantum computing algorythms excluded), systems that create obstructions to unwanted eyes that are costly (time and other resources) to remove. The whole world of finance already operates on that assumption and prices fraud, default etc into the price of using the system. I often wondered if some e-commerce co could make great headway by offering users to cover the first $50 of credit card related fraud. Perhaps some do.

Mammon, Re: > > > It's just a file that sits on your hard drive. So if somebody can get access to that file they can send it again - what we call a replay attack. < < < One of the advantages of the Wave/Embassy approach is that this file is not resident in the general or specific storage within the appliance itself, but is one of the protected files that is encrypted and stored within the protected environment of the "system within a system". This creates an additional layer of protection that decreases the probability of compromise below that of a system which uses the identical biometric device and in which all storage and processing is done within the generalized circuitry of the appliance itself. This, IMHO, is the added dimension that Wave/Embassy offers as a complement to most other security/content-management systems and, IMHO, is one of the principal points of differentiation in Wave's patents.
