Bill Gates Is Right?
Scott Granneman, 2004-11-19

Bill Gates is right about one thing: asking people to use a two-factor form of authentication would go a long way toward alleviating a lot of the password problems that plague computer security today.

Biometrics isn't the best method 2004-11-23

I've been looking into a lot of the biometrics technologies, especially those with the iris/eye recognition.

Let's say your eye gets damaged in some way, like a degenerate eye disease or other damage to the retina. How does this situation get handled?

I'll stick with smart cards, as these can be easily replaced. I think using the two in tandem is a good idea, but we can't rely on only one of these techniques.
