People are accepting biometrics (remember this?) - Pilot Automated Supermarket Captures 50% of Local Market "Our volume has developed within a relatively short amount of time. The supermarket still expects to see a significant increase by the end of the first calendar quarter; however, I am amazed at the high level of customer acceptance, particularly because U-Check is surrounded by four major chain-store competitors, each within just a five-minute drive," Johnson said. newsalert.com Rick

David, Good link. Says a lot about the DFR300. I have not seen anything about the DFR300 shipping. Blanket statements may satisfy you...it does not me. $20 per scanner will be nice...if and when it ships. I don't know how pricing works in the ESAF/IDX relationship...and you don't either. As to fee schedules...I post what is publicly available...sorry...but I can not take your word for it. The Compaq price is discounted to begin with because they are selling to compaq. Secugen is competitive whether you like it or not....you really think ESAF would not discount their application to make it competitive? Currently ESAF may be at a price disadvantage due to not owning the algorithm...but as I have explained...you need to give hardware providers the algo license or there is little incentive to partner with esaf. Pricing pressures will keep both algos and hardware in check...so it is a temporary problem at best. Don't worry...ESAF will make some sales. They must be more than a non-factor if Novell is including them in their product... I repeat: so what? It is not like the IDX solution is included in the novell product...it is just a component. You still have to download BioClient and you still have to buy a product. What do you really get as an end user? You can't use it. ESAF's stuff is included as standard too...and that requires downloads and potential hardware purchases. Other than a stamp of approval...what does this do? Finally...if IDX has bioengine standard...then why start out the press release by saying you support Novell? The end of that release says that it comes packaged with all NMAS for netware 5.1...is that all that this NMAS thing is good for or are there other applications that are missing here in relation to IDX? Regards, Bob

David, Brad, Looks like we have another champion: KPMG At RSA they announced they have solutions to secure e-commerce for their customers. They combine any of 5 applications. Look at #s 2 and 5. At the RSA Conference, KPMG's demonstration of its capabilities for clients included: -- Using certificates from Baltimore, CyberTrust, Entrust and VeriSign, members of the KPMG IRM team demonstrated secure authentication to a PeopleSoft HR module, enabled by SHYM Technologies. -- Using biometric technology from Identicator Solutions, members of the KPMG IRM team demonstrated positive authentication to Microsoft NT workstations and domain services. -- They also demonstrated the ability to gain secure remote access in an extranet environment to SAP FI and MM modules using CyberTrust certificates with enCommerce's getAccess. CyberTrust's External Authorization System provides a single administration control point to enroll a user in getAccess and issue a public key certificate using CyberTrust's Certificate Management System (CMS). -- Furthermore, KPMG professionals issued a public key certificate using Baltimore Technologies' UniCert Registration Authority and Certification Authority and used the newly generated certificate to exchange secure electronic mail. -- Using a SecurID token to access the user's personal security data, the KPMG team provided secure access to an Oracle database via RSA Security Inc.'s KEON. This can be expanded to provide secure access to any application linked to the KEON Security Manager. Van Ranst called this reduced sign-on the "ultimate in user convenience." Authentication is needed when the user initially signs-on and thereafter authentication of the user would be maintained as the user moves from application to application.
