Okay, yeah that's what I assumed.

That seems a bit like a game of whack-a-mole where as long as the forging side is willing to go further and further into out-of-hardware emulation (e.g. prosthetic finger on a robot hand to trick fingerprint scanners), they are bound to win. Biometrics don't feel like they hold up much if you can have collusion without fear of accountability.

Yes, that's also one of the main things that make me excited about it. I've been following the space for quite some time now, and I'm happy that it becomes more tractable for standard cryptographic primitives and thus a lot more use-cases.

Thanks for your contributions to the space and being so responsive in this thread!
