Abstract:

In today’s information technology world, security for systems is becoming more and more important. One area where security can be improved is in authentication. Biometric, provides one of the most secure methods of authentication and identification Biometric identification utilizes physiological and behavioural characteristics to authenticate a person’s identity, which are both unique and measurable.
Some common physical characteristics that may be used for identification include fingerprints, palm prints, hand geometry, retinal patterns and iris patterns. Behavioural characteristics include signature, voice pattern and keystroke dynamics. Among all these techniques we have chosen iris recognition because, that no two irises are alike, even in twins, thus making them a good biometric.
In this paper, we deduced the most important, efficient and accurate method of authentification and verification using Iris Recognition Technology. In addition to these we
have also discussed the advantages of Iris Recognition Technology including its applications.
