Iris Scanning in Phones a Reality

22 May 2006 by axxxr
The xVista iris scanning and verification technology was developed through a £1.8 million, six year partnership with the University of Sussex. The system offers the most accurate and secure method of checking an individual’s identity available to date.
 
 
The iris data is captured and processed by a unique algorithm designed specifically to operate on low power computing devices such as a camera equipped mobile phone. A standard, 256 Mb mobile phone memory card will be able to hold over 250,000 separate iris templates and from a database of 1,000,000 irises, it will take less than one second for it to verify an individual iris.
