HD Barcode and IriTech reveal embed iris data in 2D bar code

HD Barcode and biometrics firm IriTech have unveiled a new ID card solution that can embed biometric iris data in a proprietary 2D barcode. Called HD IrisCheck , the HD Barcode that is created can only be authenticated with a secure code generator which remains with the customer. This ensures those with the ability to read HD Barcodes may not create or alter code data. The system is linked to a USB enabled mobile reader called the IriShield scanner, for scanning and matching an individual’s iris to the data contained in the HD Barcode.
