J.Saf and all, A short Frost & Sullivan report on the rise of automated ID - "End-users tend to be unaware of the full range of benefits that auto ID equipment can provide. However, as end-user acceptance increases and successes of this technology become more commonly known, the market will experience positive growth", Edward West continues. quoteserver.dogpile.com Rick

Iris scan versus finger scan . . . . I agree with J. Saf that fingerprints will be useful more often than eye scans, although in ATMs eye scans will be relatively strong. Sometimes you see claims that iris scans, with about 230 points of reference, are more accurate than fingerprints, with less than 100 points of reference. This is kind of a silly comparison. The real question is, Do fingerprints give the kind of accuracy that is needed for all relevant purposes? The answer, of course, is yes. If the FBI can build an extremely accurate AFIS data base using a one:many search approach (ID'ing and authenticating) with perhaps 100 million people on it, and this information is held to be reliable enough to be used in criminal court, then simple one:one fingerprint authentications on databases that are smaller by many orders of magnitude are surely good enough. In other words, if iris ID is better, it doesn't matter; it doesn't add any value.

J Saf, If you go to the compaq online store through the link Brad provided, they are selling the fingerprint scanner. The technical specs state that it will work with computers other than Compaq. I am working with a Compaq deskpro at work and a Cybermax K6 233 at home. I almost bought the scanner yesterday to have a new tinker toy, figured I could make it work on my office machine if not at home. Now if I could only get myself to drop the $99.99 I could be a proud owner. Ed

I'm sure SENSAR is pretty good but it looks complicated and expensive technology !!! I got in Delsecur for their fingerprint technology that is cheaper and more private than their competitors. Check their website and you'll see delsecur.com Delsecur or Grandeur (GDER-OTCBB) DEL-ID for Ecommerce Message 6648074 Thassico
