ID scheme to check 13 biometrics: "presumably the borderline between free democracy and police state lies somewhere between the hours of 4am and 5.30am"
About Me
Hello you. I'm a 38-year old MSc student, studying Advanced Computer Science at Sussex University. I'm especially interested in Internet and mobile software, sensors and pervasive computing, user interfaces, and the process of developing great software.
Before that I spent 11 years running Future Platforms, a software company I co-founded which makes lovely things for mobile phones, and which I sold to Vexed Digital in 2011.
I read a lot, write here, and practice Aikido and airsoft. I live in Brighton, a seaside town on the south coast of the UK, with two cats and a clown.

Yeah, but it's really 13 * 2 * 10^10 biometrics, cos the Iris recognition samples 2048 locations on the iris to deternmine a 'unique' key. So that's plenty.
I wonder if I loose a finger, can I be less accurately identified?
