The commonest problem is that passwords are easily
forgotten, swapped and stolen. Besides, identity theft
and fraud are widely known for its crimes that cost
online retailers and web-based businesses (e.g.
insurance companies, healthcare companies, banking
and financial institutions) billions of dollars every
year. Thus, identity authentication becomes the
highest importance. With an increasing number of
criminals seeking to exploit online systems to hack
into user accounts and profit from identity theft or
even online impersonation, how would password continue to protect their personal identity?
By utilizing the impeccable characters of the cloud, iris
biometric data can be easily stored or retrieved, and
securely transmitted from one place to another without
any potential breach along the wire. Aside from its
convenience, flexibility and scalability; iris biometrics on
the cloud dramatically reduces the operational costs to
most small and medium-sized companies.
The use of iris recognition is to determine whether or
not someone is truly who they say they are. Another
substantial aspect of the iris based identity
authentication is that the iris image is fast captured,
having stable patterns through times, contactless and
robust in different environmental conditions.
In today’s fast-pacing world, the concept of personal
identity becomes more ambiguous and complicated.
In this computer-drive era, people cannot live without
internet or connecting themselves to numerous
networks. Each of them may have multiple accounts
and memorize multiple passwords for uncountable
social media websites. Their passwords are the key to
access and authenticate their accounts.
Given answer to that question, biometric
authentication has been strongly considered as the
most secure and hardest solution to fake. Among our
unique physical features, iris biometrics is known as
the most accurate and impossible to reproduce or
replicate. The iris is a visible but protected structure,
and it does not usually change over time, making it
ideal and reliable for biometric identification.
As a general trend, many companies shift away from
the tradition computer with its limitation and move
towards modern cloud computing which is centrally
managed and maintained automatically, providing
subscribers with the most recent improvements,
additions and modifications. Cloud computing is
drastically reduced the IT infrastructure and on-site
expertise required by customers as no additional
hardware or resources are required when investing is a
solution that operates within the cloud.

can exploit IriSecureID service for enrollment, matching, and identity
authentication without worrying about biometric data management
service or physical hardware installation. This can significantly reduce the
cost of IT infrastructure and maintenance.
IriSecureID consists of IriSecureIDService running on the cloud server,
various client applications on Windows and Android that can be
customized for customers’ specific applications, and a client SDK in
different programming languages that allow application developers can
easily work with the IriSecureIDService.

IriTech is a leading provider of iris recognition technology for many
years. IriSecureID is built on top of IriTech’s high-acclaimed iris
recognition algorithms which have been tested and proven by NIST.
• Enrollment: registers an identity
with irises with IriSecureID system.
• Verification: performs a 1:1
matching of a submitted iris
template to the iris template of a
single enrollee whose identity is
being claimed, to determine
whether it matches the claimed
identity.
• Identification: performs a 1:N
matching of submitted iris template
against the templates of all enrollee
to determine whether it matches
any of the templates, or to
determine the closest matches.
• De-duplication: determines
whether a submitted iris template
has been enrolled in the database.
• User Access Management: ensures
that only the appropriate user has
exclusive access to the specific
functions, recourses, and service
itself
• Device Certification Management:
ensures appropriate IriTech devices
working with IriSecureID to provide
end-to-end security solution.
Proven Technology
Secure by Design
All biometric data transferred between IriSecureID and client
applications are protected with strong Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
Those data will be encrypted with AES 256 bits and stored on the
server. The access to IriSecureID is managed by user access
management applying iris authentication. IriSecureID also supports
working with a ready implemented PKI in IriTech’s device that
provides an end-to-end security solution in which iris templates
were encrypted as device level.
IriSecureID only keeps the biometric data in order to perform the
matching on the server. All the biographic data and other identity
information will be separately managed by the customers
themselves in favor of keeping the privacy of this identity
information. Besides, IriSecureID stores the template information on
server assuring that iris images are never stored anywhere else.
Flexibility and Scalability
IriSecureID is designed to deliver a flexible, scalable, and adaptable
Biometrics as a Service (BaaS) on the cloud supporting a boundless
system resource, infrastructure, and database storage. As a cloud
computing service it dynamically scales up to any performance and
storage requirements. This allows IriSecureID to facilitate a wide
range of identity management solutions.
Privacy by Design
