Abstract
Iris Identification can provide the linkage between three very important functions in modem transactions: Security of information, Virtually foolproof Personal Identification, and Protection of the Privacy of the individual. This paper will present an overview of the Iris as a means of individual identification with the capabilities of global uniqueness in performance. This physiological capability provides the basis for the three previously mentioned desired attributes that enable secure, private transactions, with the provision of non-repudiation as necessary for certain transactions. This presentation will provide some scenarios where these three functions may operate in concert, and lays the foundation for future development and growth as needs change.
