One of the exploits involved a Gummi  Bear, IIRC.

Fingerprint as an auth method is passé. It's easily forged. I'm pretty sure 
Secunia published a study about that last year, finding that it didn't matter 
if your reader was $25 or $500 - they were easily "broken".

 

Smartcard plus PIN seems to be winning.

Subject: Biometric AD authentication

 

Greetings,

I've 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 XT2's 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.

Thanks,

Jim
