AAO said Iris Scanning Technology
With the identification of the iris security in the news recently, the American Academy of Ophthalmology has said that an eye can be replaced by a passkey or a fingerprint. The iris is characteristic of each person, said a member of Ivan Schwab, MD, professor of ophthalmology and director of cornea and external disease service at the University of California at Davis. As such, the iris can be used to confirm someones identity. The complicated shape of the iris is what makes each one different.Ring even further, but still around the pupil, and ridges - wrinkles, hills and valleys in the structure of the iris. While passwords can be hacked, may be lost letters, and other personally identifiable information may be compromised, the iris is almost impossible to change.
Fingerprints can be manipulated with exposure to chemicals, makeup or dust, but should be an eye doctor to change a screen. The iris as a form of identification has the advantage of portability, and can not be forgotten, lost or hacked, Dr.Schwab added.And unlike the way it is described in a recent best-selling fiction and several Hollywood blockbusters, the eye must be equipped for the work of a person who lives for the technology. Without a blood supply to the retina does not look the same and the student would be difficult to develop. Although comparable to the reliability of a fingerprint, iris, structural changes in the experience of people. Limitations, the technology can also illness, injury, loss of eye, and age.
