John Daugman

John Daugman is a computer scientist known for developing iris recognition technology. His work involves creating algorithms that analyze the unique patterns in the colored parts of your eye, called the iris, to verify identity. This method is highly accurate because each person's iris patterns are distinct and stable over time. Daugman's innovations have been widely adopted in security systems, helping hotels, airports, and governments reliably identify individuals while maintaining privacy. His contributions have significantly advanced biometric identification, making secure, contactless authentication practical and efficient.
