Re: QC Bio-info leak?

["Anders Rundgren" <anders.rundgren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Lynn,
thanx for the info although it does not apply to the QC-002 spec as it does not support
finegerprints.

The question is therefore (unfortunately) limited to subject image and handwritten signature.

Although smart cards with built-in finerprint sensors could be great I believe
that this makes them too expensive for most purposes.

X9.84?  Does anyone within the QC-group care to comments on that?

Anders
