Abstract:
Biometric authentication uses unique physical or behavioural patterns in humans to identify individuals. Though biometric is generally considered most reliable, stable and unique among all entity authentication means, it is not as stable and unique as is usually conceived. In this paper, we highlight the issues with current state-of-the-art iris-based biometric authentication systems. This survey covers the review of existing iris recognition methods with a focus on enumerating the open issues that must be addressed in order to be more confident in the performance, security and privacy aspects of iris-based biometric systems.
