Fingerprints are not the best and they are low on the social acceptance scale (People don't like them cause they identify fingerprinting with law enforcement). Hand geometry is very good and hard to fake, unless like mentioned earlier someone wants in bad enough to take someone's hand off. Then you have a butcher and not really a data thief to worry about. Hand geometry is quick, very reliable (low CER) and most people don't have too much of a problem with it. I use one daily and it is pretty quick and painless.

I would think that finger prints would be the best. It is considerably cheaper then a retinal scanning equipment. felix () qodiga com (Felix Cuello) To: security-basics () security-focus com cc: 11/06/2002 02:27 Subject: Biometric question PM Hello list! I will work in a project where phisical security will be based on biometrics, in fact only will be based on fingerprints biometric. How secure are fingerprints?, what biometric are more secure? (voice, eye, ??? what else). I'm not a security expert :-) Thanks a lot, Felix [my english is bad... please sorry :-)] -- Felix Cuello felix () qodiga com Qodiga/its Av.Santa Fe 882 P.13 Of. "E" C.P.
