NIST test proves the iris recognition is idea for ID verification

A new NIST report demonstrates that iris recognition algorithms can maintain their accuracy and interoperability with compact images, affirming their potential for large-scale identity management applications such as the federal Personal Identity Verification program, cybersecurity, and counterterrorism

The eyes may be the mirror to the soul, but the iris reveals a person’s true identity — its intricate structure constitutes a powerful biometric. A new report by computer scientists at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) demonstrates that iris recognition algorithms can maintain their accuracy and interoperability with compact images, affirming their potential for large-scale identity management applications such as the federal Personal Identity Verification program, cyber security, and counterterrorism.
