Umm I remember that episode, but I don't recall a Gummi Bear as being part of it. I think they went all high-tech and got a copy of his fingerprint and made a "sleeve" to fit on Adamn's finger, but that didn't work as well as like a photocopy of the fingerprint... :-)

Its easily forged. Im pretty sure Secunia published a study about that last year, finding that it didnt matter if your reader was $25 or $500 they were easily broken. Smartcard plus PIN seems to be winning. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Jim Holmgren [mailto:jholmg...@xlhealth.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 12:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Biometric AD authentication Greetings, Ive been tasked with coming up with some solutions for biometric AD authentication. Quick background: We are in the healthcare field and will be providing tablet PCs to some of our practitioners. We have been going around about how to provide authentication to these folks with minimal security compromises. The tablets will be running Windows 7 Pro (Dell Latitude XT2s at the moment) locked down pretty tight, but to avoid the sticky note password keeper on a very portable device that will contain PHI, we are looking at requiring login with a fingerprint and pin. Any suggestions/recommendations from those that have been-there-done-that with Biometric AD auth would be greatly appreciated.
