Irikon Is The World’s First Iris ID USB Drive

Written by Richard Blanchard on July 5th, 2007. Posted in Security, USB News

Rehoboth Technology introduced the first ever iris ID USB flash drive to one-up the biometric concept.

The iris USB drive requires a user to look into the on-board camera for a quick looksie. The registration or scanning process will ID the user in around 2 seconds. There are no passwords or pin numbers to unlock the drive, only the correct iris will unlock the valuable content. With 256-bit encryption I don’t think you’ll get past this, even with some James Bond contact lenses.

The Irikon drive can hold 20 iris templates or IDs and is fully plug-n-play with Windows, Mac etc. You will need to get the iris ID drive fairly close, about 6 centimeters.
