Biometric/Token Authentication and Seamless Integration?

Posted by Cliff on from the your-body-as-your-password dept.

NeuralAbyss asks: "With all the recent discussions on biometric, password and token authentication, I thought I'd ask one simple question that no websites seem to be able to answer: What devices integrate transparently with pre-built infrastructure (Linux, *BSD, Novell, Windows NT/2K)? Any advice from Slashdot readers out there would be quite helpful, as I am looking into biometric/token authentication for a network that I administer, currently a Win2000/Novell hybrid."

  1. you are not the GUV so dont try it by johnjones · · Score: 3, Interesting

    if you are a company dont try this stick with passwords

    just actually force your users to change them and use decent hashing on all your files

    wake up the only people who can do biometric are guv's beacsue its so damn expensive TO GET RIGHT most are cheap fail within 6mths or simply by blowing on it you can fool them
