Iris Based Attendance System : Biometric Authentication

Biometrics technology aims at utilizing major and distinctive characteristics such as behavioral or biological, for the sake of positively indentifying people. With the help of a combination of hardware and specific identifying sets of rules, a basic human attribute, automated biometric recognition mimics to distinguish and categorize other people as individual and unique. But the challenges surrounding biometrics are great as well.

Biometrics is a method of identifying an individual based on characteristics that they possess, typically physiological features such as a fingerprint, hand, iris, retina, face, voice, and even DNA. Some methods of biometrics security even use multiple physiological features or multimodal biometrics to provide superior security than a single form of biometrics can provide. Why are biometrics important in the field of information security? Biometrics provide a remarkable amount of security for information because biometrics are unique to each person, and thus cannot be lost, copied, or shared with another individual. This security allows for biometrics to provide a means to reliability authenticate personnel. The importance of biometrics can be further divided into the history of biometrics and why it was devised, past implementations of biometrics, current implementations of biometrics, and future implementations of biometrics.

We live in a world today, in which technology moves at a very rapid pace. Many of these technological advances can be used to make our everyday lives easier and safer. One of these new technologies is Biometrics. Biometrics is the process of measuring a person’s physical properties. This would include measuring things like fingerprints, retinas, odor, vein structure on the back of the hand and many other things. Biometrics is a very important topic because it would create better security precautions for certain places that need to be secure. Biometrics will make our society safer by only allowing authorized people out of secure facilities and by keeping the unauthorized people out. Throughout the rest of this

As time moves along and society becomes more technological, more techniques of solving crime with advanced technology are practiced. Not only can we solve crime with fingerprints and behavioral characteristics such as gait, voice, signature and odor, but we can also solve crime with the use of iris recognition. Iris recognition is a biometric identification method of identifying individuals based on their iris patterns. It has slowly been emerging, since 1994 into biometric technology as an alternate means to do the same job as fingerprinting. This paper will go into quite a bit of detail on the iris recognition system and explain the development of the iris and what the iris’s function is for the eye and answer the questions that follow: are there any changes to the iris between birth and adulthood or even after death, how does the iris recognition system operate and what countries, if any, are currently exercising the use of the iris recognition system and how is it working out for them, is the iris recognition system reliable and do contacts and glasses effect the system in any way, and finally, can iris recognition be applied to an iris after death?

Good job on your discussion, biometrics has dramatically improved over the years. In corrections such as jails and prisons, biometrics are completely accurate and necessary to be utilized, they ensure safety while speeding up staff and visitors processing through the entrance doors. Today, the most common biometric system in jails is the Iris system. This system is very effective and unique because it captures quality characteristics of the eye pupils and register the offenders into the system for future reference. For instance, if an offender reoffends that individual will have their eyes scanned through the system and every bit of information will appear in the system.

Iris recognition is a method of biometric authentication that uses pattern recognition techniques based on images of the irises of an individual's eyes. Iris recognition uses camera technology and subtle IR illumination to reduce specular reflection from the convex cornea to create images of the detail-rich intricate structures of the iris. These unique structures are converted into digital templates. They provide mathematical representations of the iris that yield unambiguous positive identification of an individual.

Biometrics is the use of physiological characteristics such as iris or retinal scan, fingerprint, or voice that is unique to a particular person (Sewell & Thede, 2013, p. 363). The use of biometrics is one of the most secure ways of authentication. They "rely on physical or behavioral characteristics to allow for effective identification" (Lambardo, 2015) The usage of biometrics has now been around for approximately 30 years. Healthcare agencies use biometrics to clock in to work, access patient’s medications, access a facilities electronic health record, and more. Biometrics have recently started to be used at blood banks to ensure patient identification before a blood transfusion happens. Voice biometrics is more commonly used in the banking

Biometrics uses personal characteristics to identify users. When it comes to security, mapping unique patterns and traits in fingerprints, irises or voices is considered light years ahead of forcing employees to memorize combination of letters and numbers -- which are easily compromised and easily forgotten.

The mark of this research study to chop back the standard in standardization, minimize the advanced computations involved among the standard methods, limit the cabinet house noise and error rates to boost iris recognition to reinforce the protection and analyze IRIS recognition in medical science bids.

Iris recognition has become the most reliable method of automatic identification. The growing use of this biometric method is based on the visible complex structure of the iris. Traditional methods of automatic identification rely on special possessions such as cards and passports or secrets like passwords and PIN numbers. The disadvantage of these methods is that they can be separated from the person. Examples of biometrics include iris, retina, voice patterns, face recognition, fingerprints as these methods use something that is very complex in their anatomy, something visual about them or can be obtained in real time. Efficient recognition systems can be built because of the variability amongst every individual’s iris pattern. This paper explains the iris recognition process with the implementation of Daugman’s original algorithms.

Iris is a thin circular structure in the eye. Infrared rays used to perform Iris recognition. It’s used to identify an individual by analyzing the unique pattern of the iris from a certain distance. Iris of every human are different from each other. Iris recognition biometrics is contactless, which makes it the most hygienic biometric modality

1. Introduction Biometric technology provides several advantages over conventional security methods like pin, password, key, card etc. The Biometric system grants authentication by different physiological and behavioral traits of a person. Biometric systems are basically of two types based on the use of a biometric trait for identification and verification. The types of biometric system are • Unimodal biometric system • Multimodal biometric system

ABSTRACT--- The logic of this paper is execution of data security using Biometric Encryption. This paper provides an overview of different biometric technique with some advantages and disadvantages. The comparison criteria for the techniques presented is limited to acceptance, accuracy, performance and cost. The Author will do a study on bonding of two biometrical traits i.e iris and fingerprint. The features are bring out from the pre-processed images of iris and fingerprint. The query image compared with those of a database image which are stored to obtain matching scores. The scores generated individually after matching are passed to the bonding module. Bonding module have three major steps i.e., normalization, generation of similarity

Introduction: Biometric authentication is the process of verifying an individual based on behavioral and physiological characteristics. Iris recognition verification is one of the most reliable personal identification methods in biometrics. In the beginning, the idea of using iris patterns for personal identification was originally proposed in 1936 by ophthalmologist Frank Burch. By the 1980 's the idea had appeared in James Bond films, but it still remained science fiction and conjecture. As biometric of human for identification purpose which cannot be stolen or lost. From the biometric system there exist different types of biometric such as thumb recognition, palm recognition, face recognition and iris recognition etc.
