WTF! I have no desire to have my promisciously available biometrics stored as identity mappings anywhere.

This concern has cropped up more than once with a diverse group of people about having their biometric information stored somewhere and open to abuse. While on the face of it this concern may seem reasonable, I do not see how different it is than having your signature, Pan card, Social security number (in case of US ofcourse) stored in a number of places as they all are open to abuse. True biometric is "more" fool proof.. but...
I am quite interested in knowing more about the implementation for such an authentication system. (does not have to be open source, though preferred)
The "client" is a physician who would like to have a better "sign in " mechanism than paper/pen. The idea is to have all the patient information pull up moment the person authenticates via such a biometric control mechanism.
For just testing purposes, if someone can suggest a lower end product then I would like to invest in it and see if I can get it working with the (L)AMP configuration.
I remember JTD being ahead of the game in this and implementing industrial grade projects, so I would like to propose he gives some gyaan on the forum.
thanks abhi
