How hard is it to implement biometric authentication for your personal computer or office VPN??

Hi dude.... Errr..... How and for what purposes you want to use that type of authentication and VPN?... can you clarify a bit more? Thanks XD Windows goes berserk

Many business class systems already have them installed. See IBM's site. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

I assume your goal is to accomplish 2-factor authentication. Instead of the typical "what you know and what you have," you are going with a newer flavor of "what you know and who you are," embodied in username/password and human fingerprints/retinas/dna/etc. Right?

Yes I'm looking for 2-factor authentication. "How and for what purposes you want to use that type of authentication and VPN" I'm using ssl vpn authentication on windows, I want to secure this system more so than just the current username and passwords. IBM Biometric authentication looks expensive.

Well, you could follow the traditional token-based 2-factor authentication solution, or you could pursue something more modern like a phone-based solution. Check out PhoneFactor as an example, www.phonefactor.com/solutions/remote-access-vpns/

PhoneFactor looks great, I downloaded the demo version and it has been easy to setup for personal use. Can I bring this to my IT department to use?
