Given the ability to alter one's outward identity (fingerprints, retinal prints), and in extreme cases one's DNA profile, would the idea of the "ghostprint" be too farfetched, at least for those outfitted with neural interfaces? Kind of like taking a checksum of the brain, and storing for later comparison.

Excellent question.
In reply, taking a "brain checksum" would be largely impossible. That said, behavior analysis could be used to identify people in the matrix. Also, the neural pathways formed when adjusting to the DNI, as well as the DNI hardware itself would leave a certain resonance which could perhaps be picked up.

I was thinking something a bit more intrusive, ala standard procedure by police departments when they book a cybernetically enhanced person for whatever, which would be a more comprehensive scan than what would be possible via a standard direct neural internet connection.
Not a complete download of the brain, but something that would be uniquely tied to that person's brain.
