We currently issue and use secure USB flash drives which are accessed using
biometric (fingerprint) recognition.
http://www.beyondifsolutions.com/Stealth_MXP_Feb_23_06.pdf
These can register up to 6 users with their own encrypted secure area.
If we register more than one user, and one of these leaves (as we all do
eventually !) the profile can be removed by an administrator, but I am advised
that technically the biometrics remains on the device - no-one including the
user can actually gain access to the biometric profile, as such it cannot be
taken off the device or accessed by anyone else including .
It can only be removed by an administrator wiping / reformatting the device.
How do I reconcile this with the fifth principle - personal data not to be kept
longer than necessary ? Is it permissible to say since no-one can access it we
do not hold it / are no longer keeping it ?
Because of the high cost compared to 'open' USB drives it is impractical to
have one device per user where only occasional use is required
