Why iris recognition technology is reliable proof-of-life

Our iris recognition provides individuals and families with a 100% accurate, secure, fraud-proof digital identity in the absence of traditional ID documentation or chip and PIN number cards.

It is more secure and effective than a password-based system because it is inherently harder to deceive.

The disadvantage of using a passwords/PIN system is that they are difficult to remember, one tends to write them down and that means someone can steal them. With the iris system, no one can steal your iris and only your iris will unlock and authorise transactions.

Speed and convenience are some of the main benefits for utilising iris recognition for a verification on a one-to-many basis.

The process of acquiring two photographs of the eyes, computations and a verification are completed at a high speed of less than three seconds, even on a 2G signal.

Customers' feedback has shown an inspiring fondness of our systems across both outdoor ATM and teller inside a bank settings, with over 94% of the participants indicating their satisfaction with using our technology.

Iris recognition is a contact-free technology. The person looks at the imager from a distance of 30 cm and the imager takes a photograph of the iris and analyses it to produce a special iris print used for identification. Due to the contact-free nature of the technology, it minimises the risk of communicable diseases being transmitted from one person to another.

There are no health risks associated with iris recognition. Iris recognition technology simply uses a video imager to take high-resolution greyscale pictures of the eye. All IrisGuard imagers are FCC and CE compliant and approved to meet international eye safety standards, including ANSI/EISNA RP27.1-96 and IEC 60825-1.2-2021.

Iris pattern remains stable from approximately 18 months of age until end of life, unlike other biometrics. This is confirmed by Clarkson University, which recently published their study in IEEE Transactions on Biometrics, Behavior, and Identity Science (Iris Recognition Performance in Children: A Longitudinal Study)

With iris recognition as a stable biometric, one-time enrolment is sufficient.

More Governments and aid agencies need to support a growing number of people in and outside of the humanitarian aid context, including Government-to-citizen services. Accountability and transparency has been increasing demand by donors who need assurance that funding is being delivered to the right people, those entitled to it.

Our partners benefit from significant savings due to streamlined operations, one-time only enrolment and ID fraud elimination. Iris recognition systems offer complete accountability to their donors, thanks to 100% verification accuracy and real-time delivery reporting facility.

We have revolutionised the way that identities and payments are authenticated, increasing digital inclusion for vulnerable populations on a large scale. We provide people with a digital identity which is protected and controlled by their eyes.

Our systems have a direct impact on increasing financial inclusion. We provide access to financial services for the unbanked by offering an alternative solution to compliance with KYC criteria.

We design, develop and manufacture a variety of state-of-the-art iris capture devices in the UK
