EyeLock to demo iris deployment on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835

Iris recognition solutions firm EyeLock has said it will demonstrate its iris biometric solution on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 mobile platform at a trade show.The deployment is being showcased on the X16 LTE smartphone, using a Snapdragon 835 processor and Secure Camera — a camera-based biometric solution for iris and facial recognition.”By 2018, most new smartphones released in the world will include biometrics. The Qualcomm 835 Haven Secure Camera feature provides additional security for your most personal information — your biometric iris template, the key to all your data, with specialized hardware and software,” said Sy Choudhury, senior director of product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Further, we believe the Snapdragon 835 security camera implementation provides a solid foundation for the EyeLock solution.”The firm said that smartphone developers are increasingly adopting iris recognition as the gold-standard among biometric solutions because of its rich information density.EyeLock said its iris authentication technology examines more than 240 unique iris characteristics of each eye. The firm notes that the algorithm performance capabilities for speed and accuracy have been tested and validated by Novetta, with a false accept rate of 1 in 1.5 million for single eye authentication and a false reject rate of less than 1%.”EyeLock and Qualcomm Technologies worked together to achieve a breakthrough level of device security and biometric usability for smartphones and the IoT segment-at-large,” said Jeff Carter, Chief Technology Officer at EyeLock. “The device we will demonstrate at Mobile World Congress features fast iris recognition at a comfortable arm's-length distance­. Utilizing the Qualcomm Haven Secure Camera interface with dedicated processing and encryption to sign, store and execute matching of mathematical templates of your iris biometric, we now are able to offer one of the most advanced security techniques available.”
