What a boon this can be for mobile users who store highly sensitive information on their laptops. Of course, face recognition products also are making news. A face may be the perfect ID to clock in for attendance, open doors, or serve as a password. TrueFace, now claiming to have served over a million faces, can identify a person's face by searching a database at a rate of 200 faces per second.

Even among identical twins, the mathematical detail obtainable from human eyes can distinguish individuals. Companies such as Iridian Technologies make a strong case for technology that knows you when you look at it. This sensor creates a unique identifying pattern for your hand, much like a fingerprint. This type of technology might seem less intrusive than retinal scanners or voice analyzers, yet still offers very good security. The choices abound.
