Delta ID Inc. announced today its ActiveIRISIris software, which is among the first to pass the performance testing of integrated mobile devices used for Aadhaar authentication. It is also the first to be awarded provisional certification by STQC prior to the performance testing.
“We want to congratulate Delta ID on passing the Performance Test for its iris software for integrated mobile devices for Aadhaar. The Performance Testing required a pass rate of better than 99% when tested with 5000 residents,” said Mr. Umesh Kumar Nandwani, Director General of STQC.
The use of Aadhaar for resident authentication is expected to rise across services for government and private enterprises. Therefore, there is a natural need for a biometric modality that works reliably for the use of Aadhaar.
“I believe we are at that the cusp of a major change in how biometrics, particularly, iris will play a role in enabling access to a variety of services we use in our daily lives,” said Dr. Salil Prabhakar, President and CEO of Delta ID Inc., “We thank STQC and UIDAI in planning and conducting the rigorous Performance Testing in the most competent way. This effort will serve both the government and residents of India by ensuring only the most reliable iris integrated mobile devices are used for Aadhaar authentication and eKYC applications.”
