What is Iris Identification?

Iris reader technology is extremely secure and safe for end users. There are multiple examples why iris technology is superior to fingerprint, hand geometry and other biometric physical access readers. Below is a bullet list of features and benefits of using iris readers for physical access.

     

• Non-Invasive and is commonly confused with "retinal" scanners; iris cameras do not use a laser.
• Iris technology utilizes an infrared digital camera (similar to your personal digital camera) to capture your eye's iris.
• Hands free operation eliminates cross contamination from end users (unlike hand & fingerprint readers).
• Iris readers can be installed in an offline or online environment.
• Use "something you are", "something you have", and "something you know" with your iris device. Use the following scenarios for secure authentication:
  • Iris template only
  • Iris template plus pin number
  • Iris template plus ID card
  • Iris template plus ID card and pin number
• Iris readers can be installed in pre-existing access control systems the same way a standard door reader is installed.
• The camera identifies over 240 unique points of interest for the template that can be stored on your existing ID card, server or iris device.

 

• Iris data templates require only 512 bytes of storage.
• This non-invasive method can authenticate an enrolled end user in less than 2 seconds.
• The chances of having a duplicate template?
  • 10 to the 78^th power = 1 "Quinquavigintillion" equal to = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,      000,000,000,000,000,      000,000,000,000,000,000,000,      000,000,000,000,000,000,000
