Bio-Pen authenticates your siignature

"Secure Signature Systems (SSS) has been busy developing this Bio-Pen that's been designed for use with laptops and PCs to prevent unsavoury types from logging onto wireless networks and VPNs. The chrome ink pen uses biometric technology to identify users via their signatures, providing a wire-free security system," reports Tech-Digest.

"According to the SSS people, it has a false acceptance rate of just 0.01% and it's currently being trialled by 'some of the UK's largest financial institutions'."

Comment: It's for Windows only and plugs into a PC via a USB port. Let us know if you have seen one in your local bank!
