Justin, The guy did everything there, including usability testings on ubuntu ... let's just implement it!
I really doubt that this kind of software can't be shipped due to legal issues. My computer, a Toshiba R20 tablet pc, has a fingerprint reader, and you can login just by swiping the finger. Lots of similar computers from usa with this technology and software are selling here on Brazil. The document says that lenovo and ibm lappies have an embedded chip to increase security even more, but it doesn't say that these chips are absolutely required for a safe operation. How can I send this to the Ubuntu technical counsil ? I know that the cost on the gym is low... I'm thinking about inviting the author of that documment to come comment here on this bug, from his research, he'll be able to tell if that security method is at least as safe as a 8 alphanumeric + special characters password, with is what most ubuntu users that require safe login screens probably use today. -- Edgy should include 'bioapi' to support fingerprint readers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/54816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
