Pentagon tries fingerprint sign-on

The Defense Department's CIO (Chief Information Officer) Office has been
running a pilot program enabling around 1,300 employees to sign on to eight
applications with the U.are.U Pro fingerprint recognition system from
DigitalPersona. The project, managed by EyeIT.com, gives users one-touch
sing-on plus automates sign-ons for Common Access Cards, which hold digital
certificates for signing documents and e-mails. Users are mostly senior
Defense employees in the CIO Office. Since the pilot was deployed, help
desk calls concerning lost passwords have dropped 90%, though calls related
to the biometric sign-on rose 0.05%. Microsoft plans to adopt
DigitalPersona software in future products, and recommends it for Active
Directory deployments.
