This end of user authentication is really what I'm interested in. The field of "what you know (data)" is pretty much set: very few people know your SNN, your DOB, and your parents' alternate names, but fewer know the color of your first car, the street you lived on two moves ago, etc. All good. "What you are" is simple biometrics, with their several technical challenges and ROI equations.
But "how you do what you do" is interesting! I explored "user fist" algorithms at my previous employer's, and for several reasons the system proved unreliable. That is, unreliable for the purposes of securing the information we were securing. But something like the "user fist" (or "user facility" in some other arena, like juggling) must be unique enough...

We need an individuated Turing Test.
