Sounds like snakeoil to me. I'll just write malware that sits between
the reader and the next layer into the OS. And I would attack the backend

I've skipped the issues of surgery to swap implanted devices, cloning
devices, database corruption, witness protection, identity theft, data
leakage, etc.
