Iris Recognition

R. Duga Lakshmi, N. Ramya, A. Hema

Abstract


The pressures on today’s system administrators to have secure systems are ever increasing. One area where security can be improved is in authentication and identification. Biometrics provides a promising solution meeting all demands. Biometric identification utilizes physiological and behavioral characteristics to authenticate a person’s identity which include facial recognition, fingerprints, palm prints, hand geometry, retinal patterns and iris patterns and signature, voice pattern and key stroke dynamics. Many have suffered from high cost and unsatisfactory error rates. The newer emerging technology IRIS RECOGNITION, which uses the unique patterns of the human iris, overcomes previous shortcomings and provides positive recognition of an individual without contact or invasion, at extremely high confidence levels. The technology is accurate, easy to use, non-intrusive, and difficult to forge and, despite what many people may think is actually quite a fast.
