From: "Tyler Durden" <camera_lumina@hotmail.com> The cool thing about this drive (small enough that it has holes for use as a keychain) is that it's got a "Public" area and a private area, and the

private area is accessible (if one desires) only via the little fingerprint reader on the top of the drive. (It's also USB based, and on Windows2000 and beyond you don't need any software drivers--just plug it in to a USB port and it appears as a drive).

ANyway, I was wondering. I'd really like a nice software mod of this thing so that, depending on which finger I use for verification, a different

private area on the drive will open (right now several users can be assigned access by the master user to use their fingerprint for access to the single private area). Of course, there should be no indication that there even IS more than one private area.

1. You should not rely on their encryption alone, you should use your own crypto on whatever you store there. You can carry your whole environment --incl. copies of tools, digsigs,and keyrings -- with you. You do, of course, have to trust the hardware/OS you use it with. "If you don't know the socket, keep your dongle in your pants" 2. If you use your 'nose' you need to borrow other noses to do a signal detection study ---tally hits, misses, false alarms, false positives. Then get back to us. We can even characterize and compare the performance of say human sentries this way; even measure their fatigue, perhaps. If the FAA/TSA has half a clue they've done this for their x-ray snoopers.
