Analysis
Traditional computer lists depends on:
– Name, passport#, DoB, etc...
Information can be changed after expulsion
– Obtain different passport, new nationality …
Expelled person is back in the country!

Our Need
A Biometric System to scan all incoming arrivals (with new visas) and to tell us if person was expelled before?
UAE Iris Expellee Tracking SystemThe Future of Secure Document 2004 - Florida, USA
Biometric Specifications
A Biometric that:
– Can identify a single person from a large population of
people.
– Does not change over time.
– Fast to acquire and easy to use.
– Can respond in real-time needed for mass transit locations
(Airports.)
– Safe and non-invasive (disease control)
– Can scale in millions and maintain top performance.
– Is affordable.

The Solution
UAE Iris Expellee Tracking SystemThe Future of Secure Document 2004 - Florida, USA
Iris Recognition Technology
Our research led us to IRT
Iris Recognition is the only technology that
produces a single person match out of a very
large population in real-time.

Why IRIS?
Human IRIS formed by 6-9 months of age and
remains unchanged
Accuracy & Uniqueness: the probability of two
IRIS producing the same code is minimal
compared to other biometrics.
UAE Iris Expellee Tracking SystemThe Future of Secure Document 2004 - Florida, USA
Why IRIS?
Fast: > 500K comparisons per sec.
Safe: contact less
Convenience: works with sunglasses, sore eyes, contact-lenses
Intelligent: eye must be live!
