Personal identification (or identity identification) is critical in a wide range of applications. Biometrics refers to automatic identity authentication of a person on a basis of one’s unique physiological or behavioral characteristics and is inherently more suitable for discriminating then traditional methods between an authorized person and an impostor. Under such circumstances Biometrics offers the most secure means to automatically identify individuals without requiring them to carry ID cards or memorize passwords. There is tremendous interest in improved methods of reliable and secure identification of people. A Biometric system provides automatic identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by the individual. One possible alternative is authentication of individual particularly utilizing a physiological characteristic i.e. human iris. Interestingly, the spatial patterns that are apparent in the human iris are highly distinctive to an individual. Thus Iris is an overt body that is available for remote assessment. This paper explains various Biometric Modalities and how Iris can be considered as most secured Biometric Technology.
