Biometric Pen - Why?
The Secure Signature Biometric Pen is a pen-based biometric system designed to provide a secure method of access to a computer through signature recognition and verification.
The pen simply plugs into the USB port on any PC or laptop with the supplied cable and interfaces using software.
According to the website:
"Conventional signature systems compare the image of a signature. Replication of the signature's look is possible by skilled forgers, allowing such systems to be easily fooled and compromised. The Secure Signature Biometric Pen is unique in that it valuates the act of creating the signature. This individual personal behaviour of signing is nearly impossible to forge."
What if I break a finger? Decide to write lefty? Am hungover and have the shakes? Why is this method any better then a fingerprint biometric system? Unless someone can explain otherwise, this seems to be a case of technology for the sake of technology - interesting, but not really useful. Click on the headline for site.
