Abstract
Following on the introduction of fingerprint
biometrics, iris authentication for handheld imaging devices has
become a hot research topic. However widespread adoption of
this technology faces a significant challenge as personal iris data
for a significant proportion of the population can be extracted
from high-quality images and the growth in image sharing and
the creation of online personal photographic albums creates a
significant security risk. In this paper we present an overview of
the problem and a potential solution – iris obfuscation when
images are acquired. Challenges to implementing a practical
obfuscation technology are discussed and approaches to
overcome these are explored.
