Raytheon has come out with a RFID based identification card that
incorporates a fingerprint scanner. The initial intent seems to be to
incorporate it into a traveler's passport so that he/she can be easily
scanned via the RFID at entry points and the fingerprint scanner validates
his/her identity. It seems to me that this technology can easily be ported
for computer security so that instead of having to type a password every
time, you just have to scan your finger on the RFID badge to gain access
to the data on your computer (assuming that the computer has a built-in
RFID reader). Here is the link to the full article:
