Walter - I don't necessarily want to speak for Wooly, but my understanding is that the biometrics market and the encryption market would be very different. Fingerprint or voice analysis would prevent unauthourized physical access to a unit but it would not prevent someone coming in via a modem.

Biometrics would be great for laptops and for organizations with a large amount of sometimes unattended computers. But everyone still needs to encrypt their data.

Walter,

I agree with Barrie. Biometric companies who offer authentication, identification AND encryption, still need to use some encryption algorithm. I noticed the DigitalPersona website doesn't indicate what encryption algorithm they're using which, I find a little odd. Their system is only as strong as their weakest link...

No, Morton. That won't happen. A biometric entrepreneur built (or bought) a better mousetrap, and is going to make a fortune. With all due respect, Jawz' also has a better mousetrap, but their marketing strategy so far, is unimpressive.
