Play-Doh isn't just child's play

This would probably only fool an optical or poor capacitive biometric system. There seems to be a 'generality' applied which implies that there exists only one method by which fingerprints can be scanned. In fact six different technologies can be applied to this biomatric application, interfacing two different algorythms in a variety of ways........It appears that the system used in this case to achieve a 90% false positive rate was optical, so these failures are attributable to the fact that the so-called 'biometric' information being analysed was actually an 'image' of a external biometric feature and not the feature itself, hence allowing for misidentification. This is the reason that biometric studies are focusing on obtaining subdermal information pertaining to the feature. Biometrics is'nt perfected yet, but it is an awful lot more secure than this research suggests. I'm pretty sure a company with IBM's clout won't be shaking in its boots at the initial result of only $3m of research
