I have a crazy idea but need to know if it is possible. I have the ability to run Biometric applications in many operating systems that authenticate users. I want to make a small enough app to change the need for a BIOS/CMOS password to a fingerprint or voice. Any ideas?

They're out there, but I haven't liked any so far. Do a search on security using Google or your favorite search engine.

Can you make it small enough to put in BIOS?

Well I work for a company that does layered biometric authentication so I know this stuff works. We offer finger, voice, anf face authentication but also can incorporate other biometrics as well but we are looking to integrate this prior to hardware boot up. This would make it so if a person stole a laptop it would be useless without the fingerprint of the owner. What is the size limitations?
