Hard to believe this could be effective. My gait varies wildly depending on how tired I am, whether it's a hot day, and how much of a hurry I'm in. Aside from that, it just doesn't seem like a gait could contain enough data to distinguish one person out of any significant number.

It's like your typing fist, or handwriting recognition: can be beat, but it's tough. I've conscientiously tried to change my gait and walking style, and I think it's kind of hard to do (I can still feel the distinctive elements of my gait coming through). It would be an interesting experiment to try to beat this.
