The biometric system would be combined with Cash Technologies' EMMA transaction processing software. The aim is to allow Internet shoppers to complete transactions at Sensar-equipped locations without having to enter personal identification numbers.

"For the first time, consumers will be able to buy all they want on-line, with traditional credit cards or even ATM cards, with peace of mind, knowing their transactions are 100% secure."
