Abstract
Associating a network packet with biometric information for a user includes identifying biometric identification information for a user of a network device, including an identifier of the biometric identification information in at least one of a header and a trailer of a network packet without including biometric identification information in a payload of the network packet, and sending the packet via a network, wherein the identifier identifies the network packet as having originated from the user.
