Despite the collapse of the US's largest biometrics payment company earlier this year, some commentators are still predicting a rosy future for the technology.

An increasing amount of valuable business information is being stored at the 'edge' of the corporate network on laptops, PDAs, home computers, and USB memory sticks.
