Iris recognition is a form of biometric identification, like fingerprinting. Like the fingerprint, the pattern in the iris is randomly formed during gestation, so no two individuals have identical iris patterns. Iris recognition technology uses an infrared illumination to allow a camera to create images of the intricate structure of the iris, which is then stored as a digital map that can be compared to an iris presented at the identification port to provide positive identification.
