About Iris Recognition Technology

Iris recognition technology identifies people by the unique patterns of the iris - the colored ring around the pupil of the eye. Iris recognition is the highest accuracy, single-factor identification method in the world, and can be used for physical access security, information security and in a variety of walk-up applications.

Iris recognition technology from Iridian Technologies examines more than 240 degrees of freedom in the human iris to create the patented IrisCode(R) record, a 512-byte data template used to identify individuals and/or authenticate user privileges. Iris recognition technology is the most accurate, scalable, stable, fast and non-invasive biometric technology in the world.

Using Iridian's patented Private IDTM software and KnoWho(TM) Authentication Server, iris recognition devices like the Authenticam(TM) camera capture images of the eye from an arm's distance away using standard video technology without bright lights or lasers. The combination of accuracy and ease of use gives iris recognition significant and measurable advantages over other biometrics like fingerprinting, voice recognition, facial recognition and retinal scans.
