About IrisGuard Technology<\/h2>\n

IrisGuard Technology is based on the science that every human eye is different, providing a unique identifier for every person in the world. It uses the varied characteristics of the human iris and delivers accurate, fast and secure biometric personal identification solutions.<\/p>\n

IrisGuard EyeBank solution includes InsGuard Cameras, software and backend servers that scan the iris and immediately compares it with every record in the bank database to give an accurate and reliable authentication.<\/p>\n

It is proven in real world operations and used in the field since 2001 to quickly and accurately identify tens of millions of people from more than 190 countries. Independent third party studies have confirmed the scientific reliability of IrisGuard EyeBank solutions.<\/p>\n

The technology operates when a user simply looks into the IrisGuard Camera, which automatically detects one\u2019s Irises and takes a focused, pristine black & white image.<\/p>\n

Mathematical algorithms convert the iris image into a unique digital code, which is enrolled into the bank\u2019s iris database for storage and rapid matching.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the win, IrisGuard’s Founder and Managing Director, Imad Malhas, said<\/p>\n

“IrisGuard has long been leading the way in iris recognition technology and iris-enabled trusted payment platforms for many years, so to be internationally recognised in this way really affirms it for us. This award could not have come at a better time for IrisGuard as we look to the future with the launch of our mobile Android phones and tablets and revolutionise the world of secure mobile payment applications.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
