Iris Security - Biometric

Question

Is Iris is the high security in Biometric System?

Naveen Arumugam · Answer

Strengths of iris recognition 1. Iris recognition has a proven highest accuracy rate. A biometric products testing final report found 2. Iris recognition to have no false matches in over two million cross-comparisons. 3. Iris recognition is able to handle very large populations at high speed. It has the capacity to perform very large 1: all searches within extremely large databases. 4. Iris biometric is very convenient and the individual simply needs to do look into a camera for a few seconds. The process captures a video image that is non-invasive and inherently safe. 5. The iris is very stable and remains unchanged throughout a person’s life. There are also no changes to the physical characteristics of the iris even when the person ages. 6. Iris recognition is an affordable biometric modality and has very low maintenance costs. Moreover, it allows seamless interoperability between different hardware vendors and can also work well with other applications. Strengths of fingerprint recognition 1. Fingerprint recognition is a widely accepted biometric modality and is excellent for background checks. It has found numerous applications in the areas of law enforcement and government forensics such as the AFIS database. 2. For populations that have a low incidence of “outliers”, fingerprint biometric has a relatively low false rejection rate and false acceptance rate. This however may not be the case for large groups or groups that have race and gender variations. 3. Fingerprint solutions are provided by a wide range of vendors. 4. Fingerprint technology has the ability to enroll multiple fingers Fingerprint technology has been widely used within the law enforcement community and in the AFIS database. Thus it is a very popular biometric technology and also widely accepted. However, fingerprint readers may not be sufficient to handle the large variation in populations that need to be enrolled. Performing a search in large-scale deployments may take many minutes and might also require ancillary data such as age, sex etc. for partitioning the database in order to increase search speed. Moreover, the search may also return multiple matches. Thus a back-up identification method such as iris recognition is required that can provide resolution for these multiple matches. Fingerprint technology works best for background check applications. Iris recognition has a very high accuracy rate and is also a non-invasive biometric technology. In this article, we have reviewed both fingerprint and iris recognition. We have also highlighted the benefits and weaknesses of these two biometric modalities. But iris technology has several advantage than the bio-metric ,but it’s very hard to implement where as bio-metric is easy to implement and its economically beneficial
