Coming Soon! Smartphone’s With Iris Scanners.
In the next few years every smartphone will house a combination of fingerprint scanners and iris scanners. These iris scanners examine hundreds of different features of your eyes in order to develop a profile just for you. They even reject photos of the person and require the person to be alive (living and breathing) to recognize the iris.
Iris scanners are said to be more secure than fingerprint scanners
And will be safe enough for online banking. Both Apple and Samsung have hinted that their next releases will include the specific hardware and software for iris scanning. Iris scanners are not new. They have been used for years for physical security. In fact, Information Technology Winthrop University even uses iris scanning technology for entrance into in their early childhood program. Due to the large volume of parents, babysitters, grandparents, and friends that drop off and pick up children, the school was looking for a more secure way to identify safe authorized individuals. The iris scanning system or Eagle Eye Station was created and installed to help secure the school. This system takes a high resolution image of your eye and matches you to the database only giving access to registered individuals keeping the children and staff safe.
Even with boosted biometric authentication features, you could be at risk though.
Iris scanning is a great tool for physical access control, but come with a few other concerns when applied online. Consumers should be aware that location trackers, public Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connections can still come at a cost. Even advanced biometric security tools on your devices won’t mask your location and activity on open networks. These public connections can leave even the most secured devices wide open for viewing and attack.
