Aftenposten er ute og promoterer fingeravtrykk som
identifikasjonsmetode i 
<URL:http://forbruker.no/reise/article1542189.ece>.

Finnes det noen norske autoriteter på området som kan fortelle
aftenpsoten at fingeratrykk ikke er spesielt sikker
identifikasjonsmetode?  Det har vært gjort flere undersøkelser rundt
dette.

En viser at det er utrolig enkelt å lure fingeravtrykkslesere med å
stjele andres avtrykk,

  Tsutomu Matsumoto, a Japanese cryptographer, recently decided to
  look at biometric fingerprint devices. These are security systems
  that attempt to identify people based on their fingerprint. For
  years the companies selling these devices have claimed that they are
  very secure, and that it is almost impossible to fool them into
  accepting a fake finger as genuine. Matsumoto, along with his
  students at the Yokohama National University, showed that they can
  be reliably fooled with a little ingenuity and $10 worth of
  household supplies.

En annen viser det samme,

  The experiments focus on making artificial fingerprints in gelatin
  from a latent fingerprint. Nine different systems were tested at the
  CeBIT trade fair in Germany and all were deceived. Three other
  different systems were put up against more extensive tests with
  three different subjects. All systems werecircumvented with all
  subjects'artificial fingerprints, but with varying results. The
  results are analyzed and discussed, partly with help of the A/R
  value defined in this report.

En tredje undersøkelse viste at fingeravtrykkslesere ikke klarer å
skille mellom døde og levende fingre,

  In the laboratory, the researchers then systematically tested more
  than 60 of the faked samples. The results were a 90 percent false
  verification rate.
