Well, people do have 10 fingerprints, but the bigger concern is how easy it is to find them and copy them. They're not secure. You'd actually be much more secure using toe prints as auth tokens, as gross and impractical as that sounds. Most biometrics are lame because they're so readily available. However, they are ridiculously useful because of how fast and conveniently they can authenticate you.
Honestly, this sounds like a much better technology: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3220886/Forget-Bluetooth-Transmitting-magnetic-fields-human-body-connect-smart-devices-saves-battery-power.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3220886/Forge... It transmits data through the human body. You could turn it on or off selectively, authenticate with anything you touch, and it would remain cryptographically secure.
- petre 10y agoFingerprints are on file in police records. Whenever you get an US visa, a passport with biometrics or stuff gets stolen from the office and the police is called to investigate, you get fingerprinted.
- peterwwillis 10y agoThat's true, but your toe prints aren't taken! xD Maybe someone can put toeprint scanners in shoes and add bluetooth...
