Nicole Steinmuller MIS 2101 Section 005 Emerging Technologies Iris Scanning
Characteristics Of The Iris • Colored part of the eye • Muscle that controls the pupil • Prenatal degeneration of the eye 1 1 NSTC Subcommittee on Biometrics. “Iris Recognition.” Committee on Technology, April 2011, 1. <http://www.biometrics.gov>
What Is Iris Scanning? • Method of biometric identification • Detection by recognition and analysis
How Does It Work? • Combines technologies • CCD digital camera • Infrared light • 3 to 10 inches • Locations when picture is taken: • Center of the pupil • Edge of the pupil • Center of the iris • Eyelashes and eyelids 2 2 Wilson, Tracy V. “How Biometrics Works.” How Stuff Works, April 2011, http://science.howstuffworks.com/biometrics4.htm
The Process 3 3 Alton, W. and Malanowski, M. “ID Controversy.” Future Identification, April 2011, http://kwiprod.us/cs485/website/iris_scan.gif
Business Drivers • Low chance of misreading iris codes • Over 200 points of reference for comparison • Rarely obstructed 4 5 4 Wilson, Tracy V. “How Biometrics Works.” How Stuff Works, April 2011, http://science.howstuffworks.com/biometrics4.htm FindBiometrics. “Iris Scanning and Recognition.” Biometric Solutions, April 2011, http://www.findbiometrics.com/iris-recognition/ 5
How Is It Useful? • Airport security • Database access and computer login • Premises access control • Mother-infant pairing in maternity wards • “Watch list” screening • Protection against identity theft 6 6 FindBiometrics. “Iris Scanning and Recognition.” Biometric Solutions, April 2011, http://www.findbiometrics.com/iris-recognition/
Some Of The Risks • Relatively new • Improper scans • In the wrong hands
Good Replacement • More accurate and efficient • More points of reference 7 7 Carr, Austin. "The Eyes Have It: Why Iris Scanning Rules | Fast Company." FastCompany.com. 18 Aug. 2010.

In The Future… • Passports • National identity cards
Iris Scanning Success • Grow and improve • Best method of identification
