Iris/Scan: biometrisches Kakotopia-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- als Erfolgsbericht aus dem Gefängnis maskierte Vision einer künftigen Gesellschaft im Volltext wiedergegeben. post/scrypt: Die Pfauenfeder, bitte! -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- SARASOTA, Fla., July 29 /PRNewswire/NEWSdesk -- The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office announced that in its first year using an access control iris identification system developed by IriScan, Inc. of Marlton, New Jersey, it has successfully thwarted two inmate escape attempts at the Sarasota County Detention Center. In addition, through using the iris recognition system, it was discovered that a third inmate was admitted under a false identity. The IriScan(R) system positively identified the subject, who had three additional arrest warrants under his true name. Depending on institutional preference, iris recognition is used to identify inmates, visitors, and cor rectional officers. At Sarasota, the system confirms the identity of all inmates who leave the facility -- for court appearances, work crews, and at the end of their term -- as well as those who are reentering the facility. Iris recognition technology-developed exclusively under patents owned by IriScan, Inc. relies on the computer-based processing of patterns from the iris of the human eye. No two irises are alike. In fact, the probability that two irises could produce exactly the same IrisCode record is approximately 1 in 10 to the 78th power. (The population of the earth is around 10 to the 10th power.) "We chose iris recognition technology over other bi ometrics because we want to be absolutely certain that we're letting the right inmate out of the facility," said Sarasota County Captain Joseph Fontana. "It is virtually impossible for an inmate to defraud our system now. Stealing or counterfeiting another person's identity has proven unsuccessful." The same technology has been working successfully at Lancaster County Pr ison in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, since late 1996. Management at IriScan commented that "the corrections community is a tough customer and any new technology must survive skepticism and intense scrutiny. That long trial period and proven performance is now leading to acc elerated acceptance." Putnam County Jail in Carmel, New York; and Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Eagleville, Pennsylvania, are the two latest facilities to install iris recognition-based identification systems . "IriScan's system will help us drastically reduce the risk of error we face with every release decision," said Sheriff Thoubboron of Putnam County Jail. Both Putnam County and Montgomery County plan to enroll the irises of all inmates into their systems. "Even aliases can be detected. If an inmate comes through our facility at a later time with another name, we'll know about it," Sheriff Thoubboron said. The Putnam County facility estimates that about 1,000 inmates will be processed annually; Montgomery County estimates 7,000 annually. In addition, IriScan has announced that correctional facilities in Broward County, Florida; Lebanon, Ohio; and Lucasville, Ohio, are also adding the technology to their security protocol. About IriScan, Inc. IriScan, Inc. is the exclusive developer of iris recognition technology for automated biometric systems. IriScan's technology for personal identification or verification relies on highly sophisticated processing of images of the iris of the eye-the colored ring that surrounds the pupil. The iris is the most personally distinct feature of the human body that is available for non-intrusive, non-contact, and precise mathematical analysis. IriScan, Inc. of Marlton, New Jersey, holds the exclusive worldwide patents on iris recognition, including the concept originated by Drs. Leonard Flom and Aran Safir, and the software process technology invented by Dr. John Daugman, Cambridge University, England. Dr. Daugman, an acknowledged expert in the fields of artificial intelligence, neural networks, and information theory, supports the continual development of iris recognition technology.
