The company introduced the USB-EyeLock iris scanner with built-in password manager

Company EyeLock, which is developing biometric security systems based on iris scanning, introduced a portable USB-scanner Myris . As stated on the website EyeLock, the probability of a false positive response scanner is only 1 to 2 250 000 000. This result is possible because the scanner analyzes not one eye, but both - each one has a unique pattern of the iris. More reliable results can only give a DNA analysis - all other methods of biometric identification allow more false positives.



In Myris integrated multilevel security system. Scanner analyzes not one static image and dynamic video stream - it does not get cheated photo or even the present, but lifeless eye, as did, for example, the protagonist of the film "Minority Report". Does not work, and specially prepared video with a live eye - one of the patents company describes the technology of the eyes and discernment its image by analyzing the reflections from the surface of the eye.

The result of the first scan the eye when Myris «acquainted" with new user never leaves the device. On the basis of generated 2048-bit key, which is encrypted user passwords. The app is compatible with Windows, Mac OS and Chrome OS, works like any ordinary password manager, authorizing users on the site and in other applications, if the scanner makes good. One device can store an image of the retina and passwords of up to five users simultaneously. Myris to go on sale until the middle of this year at a price of $ 300. Yet EyeLock demonstrates his prototype at exhibitions and takes pre-orders.
