Intel Bringing Biometrics to PCs for Better Security

"Biometrics are coming to PCs: Intel's Kirk Skaugen, corporate vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group, noted during his keynote at CES 2013 that Intel would be bringing Biometrics to the PC. Today we learn that during an event last week Intel's Skaugen stated that Intel and McAfee will be bringing a biometric solution to better secure PC's by the end of the year.

 According to Skaugen, an average user keeps around 18 passwords, and with the advent of biometric authentication gadgets will be easier to use.

The chip maker owns McAfee, which allows it to benefit from the company's security software for its smartphones, tablets and PCs."
