Security is in the eye of the beholder

Iris recognition technology outperforms all other biometric applications according to a study produced by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).

The study discovered that iris recognition registered a false match rate of zero in more than 2.7 million impressions. Compared to this, other biometrics - such as facial recognition, fingerprints, vein and voice recognition - all had higher false match rates.

The biometric scanner compares the real-life iris to the recorded digitised version of person's iris and this comparison provides the match rate.
