Users enroll and set up security via an overlay to Windows NT's Management Console. Powered by the laptop, it requires no external cables or connections. Unlike passwords, the BioTouch can't be defeated by simply removing the CMOS battery or by amateurish hacking. When connected to a BioLogon-enabled network, the laptop will use the security profiles set up for the network server. BioLogon's user profiles can enroll multiple users, each with different rights.
Users can access the network from other computers.
Identix offers a version of BioLogon that runs on Novell NetWare 5 and supports NetWare's LDAP server. A compact signature pad that's easy to install and use. Cyber-SIGN's software analyzes the shape, speed, stroke, pen pressure and timing information as you sign your name. Even my daughter, who forged my signature to her report cards for 10 years, couldn't defeat the system.
