Fingerprint Recognition with Linux & IBM's T42

Posted by timothy on from the nobody-said-*which*-finger dept.

Michael R. Crusoe writes "UPEK, provider of popular fingerprint sensors to IBM's T42 notebooks and others, has announced that they will be providing a BioAPI compliant library to perform biometric authentication under GNU/Linux. Will Linux be the first operating system to have integrated biometric user authentication 'out of the box'?"

    Of course, but the retards prefer to use IBM to give the news additional credibility.

    And not to mention the disaster recovery feature - the notebook automatically sends user's fingerprint scan to an IP address in China.
