Um, if it's that confidential then I'm one to believe you should already know
the answers to your questions. Or perhaps you shouldn't be setting up
the security policy and procedures for such a asset, though it is only "confidential" labeled. Forgive my
edge, it's been a long day already. I wasn't asking for specifics silly, it was more of a question does it really
warrant that kinda of security. I would think that generally when biometrics doesn't
suffice then we don't post to public forums for suggestions. Bah, I'm reading into this to much. Sorry for the edge. It's a combination of physical security controls and technical security controls, biometrics is going to be a part of it, one way or another. There's a project called biopassword which you might find interesting. Also look into mandatory access control. Defense in depth also comes to mind.
