Hello Doug,

Until we have cheap reliable iris scanners on every PC, and HESA
making your iris available on LDAP, I think you are going to need

1. A piece of hardware to protect the private Key

and

2. A password to unlock the private key.


Otherwise I think any hope of paperless legal electronic referrals is
gone. There is no reason your couldn't have half a dozen dongles,
although you probably only get one free. I don't imagine you would
like them lying around and being useable without a password however.
Most Medicare fraud is committed by non medical staff members.
