I don't know how one would play the biometric security market potential these days. Personally, I'm tired of all the PINs and passwords, and like the notion of fingerprint or retinal scanned identification, excepting the nightmare sci-fi scenarios (For example, "This Perfect Day", in which everyone had to scan themselves at public stations in their daily activities, so they could be tracked by a global Big Brother overseer) I remember when Lucent forged the arrangement with Veridicom - the chip tech was interesting to me as an engineer, consisting of a pressure-sensitive chip surface, hardened to the elements in some way, but not packaged; the pressure image would be scanned out, digitized, processing into a distilled signature, all on chip, and then presented externally to a processor interface. It was priced at about $75/chip at that time, I forget the timeframe. So it seemed ahead of its time, and too expensive, for example, for cellphones, and maybe even too much for cost-sensitive low-end PC architectures. Biometric recognition will come, in time. George
