All algorithms aren't created alike. If you embed algorithms in silicon, then you are stuck with that algorithm. What if it isn't good enough to differentiate every user? Embedding the algorithm also rules out doing one-to-many searches to determine if a user is already enrolled under another alias. And adding more silicon to do the processing isn't free.

It's fair to question whether Oracle is more "open" than other network environments, such as Windows NT. I didn't mean to suggest that a large enough Windows NT network wouldn't ultimately have similar security issues. I believe, though, that the size of many Oracle applications implies virtual private networks via the Internet, with numerous remote locations hooked in, and I would be very, very surprised to see any competitors piloting applications under such demanding circumstances. There hasn't been a hint of it anywhere. What we are seeing announced in the form of $99 or $199 scanners doesn't apply to these much more demanding applications.
