| | finger printing Hi: all: I_Was thinking about the finger printing technology. I was thinking that some entrepreneur should be able to form a fake finger that would allow an imposter to hack into someone's computer. Here is how it would work: Y0U lift someone's fingerprint from something that the person has touched. The company then forms a Rubber finger based on the lifted print. Now w/ this fake finger, you should be able to log into that person's computer what do you think of this idea? Do you think that there would be a Niche market for this kind of service? A converse way of asking my question is: Don't you think that finger scanners on computers would be vulnerable to this type of hacking? |
