| Aug 28, 2011 at 15:10 | comment | added | AviD♦ | This is actually a great point - biometrics, currently at least, work as if they are a secret - which they really aren't. So, a better biometric authentication is one that would assume that the biometrics are public, and still succeed (somehow?) in performing the authentication. Interesting idea, needs more research.... | |
