Re: So how secure are 'biometrics'?
"Why does everyone automatically jump to fingerprints as soon as anyone mentions biometrics. Of the entire set of things that you could use on the human body (non-invasively) for biometric checks, the fingerprint is just a fairly small subset."
It's just the simplest representation to present in an argument, but the argument can be made for any and every biometric. Quite simply, just about anything man can create, man can either re-create or subvert. How do biometrics stop a Man in the Middle, for example, like a tampered entry point, which is physically proven to be impossible to completely secure simply because anyone can find and subvert a point outside a chain of trust and disguise it as a trusted point beyond the point of everyday detectability?
