I hadn't thought about authentication with DNA, but ... it's definitely biometric !-)<br>

<br>
True that! One more factor to consider when choosing an authentication method:<br>
<br>
* changing one's passwords: annoying but cheap (unless one's time is very expensive)<br>
* changing one's fingerprints: probably doable, but only with the assistance of trained (expensive) professionals, and side effects could get nasty<br>
* changing one's iris scan: not sure that's feasible, and potential side effects seem even nastier<br>
* changing one's DNA: good luck with that :-)<br>
