NIST Supplemental Testing Re-confirms IriTech is #1 Iris Identification Provider

FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- IriTech, Inc., a leading provider of iris-based biometric identification technology, products and services, was once again identified by NIST in the IREX I Supplemental Report as the most accurate iris technology for current operational data. For operational data, the OPS dataset, the next best competitor exhibits error rates approximately 50% higher than IriTech.

Even with a commanding lead, IriTech continues to rapidly advance its iris identification technology and is pleased to announce a new SDK, with significant performance gains in both speed and accuracy. IriTech's new SDK achieves speeds 10 times faster than the SDK it submitted for NIST IREX, and further improves accuracy. With the new SDK, tested against the only open dataset used in NIST IREX, the BATH dataset, FNMR is reduced by as much as 90%. These tremendous gains further widen the performance gap between IriTech and its competitors, and provide IriTech customers with confidence they are achieving the best results possible.

"The combination of our superior accuracy and fast, efficient processing provides best value to our customers, ensuring top performance at the best price," stated Dr. Kim, President and CEO of IriTech, Inc. "We understand the importance of our customers' missions and are honored to provide them with the critical identification tools they need for success."

Through release of this advanced SDK and the recent release of a new family of high performance, affordable USB 2.0 iris cameras, IriTech continues to lead the industry in providing customers with a flexible and modular iris identification capability.
