I prefer the finger/thumb print units that do pattern matching as well as verify blood pressure and pulse. It also helps if the environment is physically secure... -----Original Message----- From: Naveed Ahmed [mailto:naveed.ahmed () vinciti com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 11:06 AM To: msconzo () tamu edu; security-basics () security-focus com Subject: RE: Biometric question Michael is right. the better ones are ( at least relatively more difficult to fake) retina scans and voice recognition. dont go by what tom cruise does in 'minority report' with the eye balls.!!! rgds -Naveed -----Original Message----- From: Michael Sconzo [mailto:msconzo () tamu edu] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 10:43 PM To: security-basics () security-focus com Subject: RE: Biometric question -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 One of the more memorable things that I have read about fingerprint scanners is: http://www.counterpane.com/crypto-gram-0205.html#5 You can basically fake a fingerprint biometric machine with a gummi bear. If I remember correctly, the majority of fingerprint scanners are vulnerable to this type of attack. One of the big things to look for is one that samples SHAPES not POINTS, and remember the more the merrier. As for other types of biometrics, I am not too sure, hopefully somebody else can shed some light on those. - -mike - -----Original Message----- From: Felix Cuello [mailto:felix () qodiga com] Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 1:27 PM To: security-basics () security-focus com Subject: Biometric question 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.
