BARCELONA, Spain,
Feb. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- EyeLock LLC, a
leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, will
demonstrate its elite iris biometric solution on the latest
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 835 mobile platform with X16 LTE at Mobile
World Congress 2017 (February 27 –
March 2, 2017) in Qualcomm's Booth in
Hall 3, Stand 3E10.
The Snapdragon 835 processor contains the Qualcomm Haven™
security platform—a combination of hardware, software and
biometrics technologies that help to provide additional security
features for online banking and payments. It also includes
hardware-based user authentication, device attestation, and device
security for use cases such as mobile payments, enterprise access,
and personal data protection.
Beyond secure fingerprint identification, a Snapdragon 835
processor is designed to provide a user with an extra level of
safety and simplicity using Secure Camera—a camera-based biometric
solution for iris and facial recognition engineered to help enhance
device security.
"By 2018, most new smartphones released in the
world will include biometrics. The Qualcomm 835 Haven Secure
Camera feature provides additional security for your most personal
information – your biometric iris template, the
key to all your data, with specialized hardware and software,"
said Sy Choudhury, senior director of product management,
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Further, we believe the
Snapdragon 835 security camera implementation provides a solid
foundation for the EyeLock solution."
Smartphone developers are increasingly adopting iris recognition
as the gold-standard among biometric solutions because of its rich
information density. EyeLock's proprietary iris authentication
technology examines more than 240 unique iris characteristics of
each eye and provides a fast, user-friendly experience with a
natural sensing distance of roughly 60 cm. The algorithm
performance capabilities for speed and accuracy have been tested
and validated by Novetta, a leader in advanced analytics
technology and independent biometric testing, as unmatched in the
market with a false accept rate of 1 in 1.5 million for single eye
authentication and a false reject rate of less than 1%.
"EyeLock and Qualcomm Technologies worked together to
achieve a breakthrough level of device security and biometric
usability for smartphones and the IoT segment-at-large," said
Jeff Carter, Chief Technology
Officer at EyeLock. "The device we will demonstrate at Mobile
World Congress features fast iris recognition at a comfortable
arm's-length distance. Utilizing the Qualcomm Haven Secure Camera
interface with dedicated processing and encryption to sign, store
and execute matching of mathematical templates of your iris
biometric, we now are able to offer one of the most advanced
security techniques available."
