iris scan

Eye-based identification method

An iris scan is a biometric identification method that photographs and analyzes the unique patterns in a person's iris—the colored ring around the pupil.

Like fingerprints, iris patterns are distinctive to each individual and remain stable over time, making them useful for security systems: The building requires an iris scan for entry.
