capture your handwriting signature and finger prints

how many authentication IDs can we provide to systems now:

1- UserNames/Passwords

2- Signatures

3- Finger Prints

4- Cards Space cards

5- certificates

there is an initiative worldwide to standardize security mechanisms. users are afraid of buying anything through internet. and as the worldwide analysis says: if hackers keep growing with the current rate no one will use the internet in 5 years. and here comes the identity metabase framework which i will talk about it later in another post. it is an initiative from almost all software vendors. either all of them collaborate (but not unify) or none of them have a future. this initiative has three roles in which card space is one of them.

forget about card space now.

can i represent my identity in a non immutable way ? yes finger prints.

here is one of the solutions : https://www.integrisign.com/ . it is an epad where you can have handwriting signature captured automatically in supported applications like word, excel , adobe, etc...

or you can use their activex control to get binaries (from signature or fingerprints) where you save it anywhere like in DB. the SDK has full sample apps.

i wonder if it works with infopath forms . in this case we can have signed forms by hand.

and even more we can digitally sign the handwriting signature. so we can get best of both worlds. a digitally signed handwriting signature. at the end all translate to a large peice of binary data.
