The new iris scanner provides advanced liveness detection, rugged industrial design, and full SDK compatibility for seamless integration into large-scale identity systems.

Fairfax, Virginia — May 2025 — IriTech, Inc., a global leader in iris recognition technology, proudly announces the launch of the IriAegis-BK, a next-generation binocular iris scanner designed for high-volume identity programs. Building on the trusted performance of the IriShield-USB BK2121U, the new IriAegis-BK delivers rapid dual-eye image acquisition, enhanced image resolution, and robust liveness detection – all within a sleek, industrial-grade design optimized for professional deployments.

Powered by a newly released processor, the IriAegis-BK is engineered for superior reliability and scalability, making it ideal for long-term, high-throughput biometric enrollment and verification. Despite its upgraded hardware, the device maintains a cost structure comparable to or even lower than its predecessor.

A key advantage of the IriAegis-BK is its full backward compatibilitywith the existing IriShield-USB BK2121U’s SDK, enabling effortless migration into existing systems without requiring new software development. This compatibility ensures a smooth transition for current users while unlocking new levels of performance and security.

IriTech officially released the IriAegis-BK in May 2025. The device features simultaneous dual-eye iris capture in under three seconds.

Key Features

• Seamless SDK Compatibility: Fully compatible with the IriShield-USB BK2121U’s SDK, enabling quick and cost-effective integration into legacy and ongoing biometric systems.
• Simultaneous Dual-Eye Capture: Captures both irises in under three seconds, ensuring fast, high-quality enrollment to support high-throughput environments.
• Advanced Liveness Detection: Anti-spoofing algorithms detect live biometric traits and reject presentation attacks involving photos, contact lenses, or replicas, adding a vital layer of security for mission-critical applications.
• Compact, Power Effective and Plug-and-Play Design: Built with a durable, low-power design requiring only a single USB connection, the device is ideal for field operations, mobile units, and infrastructure-limited locations.

“We are proud to introduce IriAegis-BK as a major advancement in iris biometric technology,” said Daehoon Kim, President & CEO of IriTech, Inc. “Our goal was to simplify large-scale enrollment while boosting trust in identity systems. With dual-eye capture, liveness detection, and full SDK compatibility, we’re offering innovation that’s both powerful and practical. This release reflects our ongoing mission to deliver reliable, real-world security solutions to our global partners.”

With the IriAegis-BK, organizations engaged in national ID, border control, voter registration, and other large-scale identity programs can now deploy cutting-edge iris biometrics with unmatched ease and confidence.

IriAegis-BK is now available for deployment worldwide.
