NEW DELHI, INDIA: Biomatiques Identification Solutions has launched Iris-based biometric recognition device. The company claims that it has a low percentage of False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR).
Iris recognition uses random textures that are visible in the eye, using the eye to confirm someone’s identity. Unlike voice, fingerprints and facial structure, iris patterns have far more random patterns. An algorithm is created to map the iris, and then the random patterns which are formed are used to create a unique bar code which is unique for every individual. The probability of duplication for voice recognition is 1 in 500, facial recognition–1 in 1000, fingerprint- 1 in 10,000, Apple touch ID-1 in 50,000, Iris recognition-1 in 15,00,000.
“In today’s times, hacking systems or breaking security codes has become quite easy. With the right tools anyone can fake an identity and get access. It is not difficult to steal an access card, to crack a security code, to fake a voice or finger print. Even getting entry in a secure access area or getting access to a bank, email account or social networking account is not such a tough nut to crack. Our eye opening breakthrough technology of Iris recognition is set to replace the fingerprint technology,” says Tamaal Roy, CEO, Biomatiques.
The latest range of iris scanners can double up as additional security for mobiles and personal computers and even apps, email clients and social networking websites.
Biomatiques has ensured that with the advancement in technology, the cost of Iris devices are brought down to the cost of finger print technology. This technology has paved the way for affordable security solutions and identification assurance in India.
