Biometrics not for everywhere / The Star [Malaysia ] 25 Aug 2005

The Star Online : TechCentral - Malaysia Technology:
"BIOMETRIC identification systems are getting popular - so popular that many companies now want to use such systems for access control in all areas of their premises and operations.
That's not a smart move, according to Tricubes Bhd, a provider of identity authentication solutions.
Organisations shouldn't use biometrics for access control in high-traffic areas, the manager for secure access and authentication solutions at Tricubes. A fingerprint reader, for example, may malfunction if a user's finger tip is too oily, has abrasions or is too cold. "
