Adoption of iris-based authentication

Even though iris-based systems have proven to be very promising in a world where security is crucial, surprisingly enough, this means of authentication has not been given a very warm welcome from the users. In order to appropriately confront this issue, critical success factors of the deployment of networked-based systems for iris authentication - namely technical, human, and implementation aspects, as well as necessary policies and standards - need to be carefully considered. One of the major success factors is the adoption issue concerning this relatively new technology. The decision to adopt iris-based authentication is influenced by many factors, including user characteristics, social factors, and technology characteristics. Addressing these key factors is extremely valuable for the successful implementation of iris-based technology.
