Iris recognition is the best of breed authentication process available today. While many mistake it for retinal scanning, iris recognition simply involves taking a picture of the iris; this picture is used solely for authentication. But what makes iris recognition the authentication system of choice?

Stable - the unique pattern in the human iris is formed by 10 months of age, and remains unchanged throughout one's lifetime
Unique - the probability of two rises producing the same code is nearly impossible
Flexible - iris recognition technology easily integrates into existing security systems or operates as a standalone
Reliable - a distinctive iris pattern is not susceptible to theft, loss or compromise
Non-Invasive - unlike retinal screening, iris recognition is non-contact and quick, offering unmatched accuracy when compared to any other security alternative, from distances as far as 3" to 10"
