Middle East country eyes up biometrics
Biometric Technology Today · 2005
Another country in the Middle East, most likely Jordan, is to roll out an iris recognition system as a means to enhance its border protection and law enforcement capabilities. At least one million people will be enrolled in the initial phase and the deployment will include more than 100 two-eye stationary iris cameras. The project will initially involve passport, visa and watch list applications, but in the future could be expanded to include drivers' licenses and healthcare projects.
