In today’s world of information technology the increased risks of occurrences of terrorist attacks, cybercrimes, and other cross-border illegal activities have led to the need for high security systems. Iris recognition as a biometric technology is an accurate and secure technology for identifying a person by analysing the random pattern of the iris. It uses the camera technology with near infrared illumination to capture high resolution-based images of an iris which are visible externally. The technology is accurate, easy to use, and difficult to forge. The growth of this market is propelled by applications in government, military & defense, banking & finance, consumer electronics, travel & immigration and so on. Currently, the world’s leading OEMs from consumer electronics to automotive are focused on incorporating the iris recognition technology in their offerings.
