EPPS will eventually allow pre-approved travelers to clear customs more smoothly.” - The Ottawa Citizen March 5, 2002
User authentication is the key to a business’ secure physical and logical perimeters. Traditional security devices or procedures allow the user to be the weakest link in the security model. Positive authentication is needed because it enables authorization and administration procedures. Iris Recognition delivers positive authentication.

Biometric Types • Iris Recognition – uses a video camera to pinpoint the independent coordinates of the iris of the eye • Face – defines a dozen or so points on the face and measures the distance between them • Fingerprints – looks for pattern ends and their changes in direction • Hand – measures the size and angles of a person’s hand features • Voice – analyzes the sound waves and speech patterns of a recorded voice • Others – signature, retinal scan, keyboard
How to Measure a Biometric • False Acceptance Rate (FAR) – accepting users who it shouldn’t accept • False Rejection Rate (FRR) – rejecting users who it should accept • Outlier Population – the percentage of people who cannot use the biometric because they do not have the characteristic • Storage and Matching - the business application should determine to use either verification or identification or both
Authentication ALL biometrics can verify • Verification asks: “Does this live record match a particular stored value?” • It requires a password or PIN or token to suggest a pointer, then the system verifies the match. • Verification answers: “It is or is not a match.” Iris Recognition identifies • Identification asks: “WHO is this person?” • It does not require a password or PIN or token because it finds the person by doing an exhaustive search of the database. • Identification answers: • “This is so-and-so” OR • “This record is valid and is approved for processing”
Security and Privacy can be Balanced if • The biometric and application align • Iris recognition requires user participation – “opt-in” • Some biometrics are passive • Data integrity is assured • In systems architecture • In the template • In transactions • In storage • Data managers follow policies

How Iris Recognition Works • Uses a video image of the iris • Analyzes the iris patterns, preparation for secure transport • Creates a 512 byte IrisCodeR template to describe the patterns • Matches the code to all IrisCodes in a database/file • Accepts or rejects individual
