Fingerprint Biometrics Abound in This Week's Top Mobile ID Stories

Readers showed a lot of interest, for example, in Kwikset’s official launch of the Halo Touch Wi-Fi Smart Lock. The device was first announced at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in January, and enables users to register their fingerprints on each device for biometric unlocking:
