New Delhi April 13 (IANS) Unlike fingerprints showing high failure rates worldwide owing to wear and tear iris-based smartphones are expected to be significantly more reliable when it comes to Aadhaar identification Delta ID Inc a leader in consumer-grade iris scanning technology for mobile devices said on Thursday.
We believe that iris-integrated smartphones and tablets will address the issues reported with Aadhaar-biometric authentication said Salil Prabhakar President and CEO of Delta ID Inc in a statement.
Telangana released data this month reporting the Aadhaar biometric authentication failure rate in MGNREGS -- the rural job guarantee scheme -- as high as 36 per cent in the state.
We are confident that the failure rates will be drastically lower once the cheaper iris-integrated mobile devices are adopted in the market Prabhakar added.
The iris is not affected with age therefore it works reliably across all age groups.
Delta ID s ActiveIRIS technology has passed Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification s (STQC) test with better than 99 per cent accuracy.
ActiveIRIS and a combination of STQC-certified hardware components can be integrated by any mobile device to expeditiously introduce iris-integrated mobile devices in the market the company said.
