In the post-September 11 era, security is becoming more and more critical. An important component of information security is user authentication. Authentication as verification is used for both physical access and for online access. Eye tracking offers new options for secure authentication. Using eye tracking as a “hands free mouse” without on-screen feedback allows a user to enter information by selecting keys on an on-screen keyboard without disclosing information to others. Iris scanning ensures excellent recognition, and eye tracking ensures the iris is live and provides additional recognition capabilities based on the eye movement itself. Combining eye tracking with iris scanning results in the multiple factor authentication that is highly secure and accurate. Inventors: Bodgan Hoanca, Ph.D. and Kenrick Mock, Ph.D.
