Mobile devices are rapidly becoming a key computing platform, transforming how people access business and personal information which requires secure authentication. According to Markets and Markets, iris smartphone market is expected to grow at a CARG of 42.48% and reach USD 155.51 million by 2020.

With iris identification, mobile users can be authorized to access the phone in a blink, which is completely contactless. IriTech’s iris on mobile solution has been tested on 5000 people against 1 billion UIDAI database and certified by Indian Government’s STQC with remarkable real field FRR result = 0%. Another big advantage is that IriTech’s iris smartphone has outstanding performance in outdoor environment even under direct sunlight.
