Ok so what are are claiming? that we are back to square one? or all the steps we took forward werent really forward?
Yes. Mostly. For simple cases where physical prescence is essential and can be counter verified by a person or where id verification need
not be 100.000000 % it works well. If the It dept wants to weed out false identity they are being stupid to think that existing biometric
systems will work. In fact it would be the perfect play ground for scamsters. If it is for the convienence of tax payers AES and plainold passwords work well.
So unless someone else counters the above it is very discouraging for more sophisticated applications.
Ofcourse in my case, there will be a physical identification and the biometric is used more so to pull up information quickly rather than punching in numbers (such as member #ID).. so it may just work.
