Homecare

a hassle. Tech support may regularly remind computer users

software vendor Thornberry, Ltd. is introducing to home care
a security company that has figured out a way to take
advantage of that. This description of "Passfaces" will be

notes,
they are more vulnerable than laptop or desktop PCs because
of their size and mobility, but at the same time, PC
security mechanisms cannot simply be transferred over -
because of the power needed, say, or the smaller size of the
device, or the attachment method, or the programming
interfaces in the operating system.
