Iris identification systems allows us to search users against a database of enrolled credentials and return their proper identities when matched. Jean-Christophe Fondeur, CTO of IDEMIA, stated: "The results of IREX 10 confirm IDEMIA's leadership in biometric research since the early 1980s, and the expertise of IDEMIA's teams in this field. Ranking first in iris recognition once more shows how advanced our technology is. We are proud to have been among the main contributors to the spectacular improvement in accuracy and interoperability over the last 40 years." Multi-biometric identification has become more and more popuar as it remains very intuitive for the user, requiring only one glance, similar to facial recognition. As an example, IDEMIA's iris recognition algorithm is at the core of technologies deployed for the largest identity management system in the world, Aadhaar in India (1.2 billion people) and in the travel sector, iris recognition is currently used for border crossing in Singapore and Abu Dhabi. On top of that, multi-biometric identification can now embed "on the move" technology.
Iris recognition is also one of the most reliable authentication solutions in terms of anti-fraud and security.
