Taking its biometric authentication system to the next level, the state government will soon begin experimenting with iris-based biometric authentication. It is also planning an Aadhaar-based pilot project using the system.
Officials said iris-based authentication was more accurate than the fingerprint-based one which is being used presently.
A senior information technology (IT) department official said they were planning to purchase around two to three iris-based authentication machines.
“We are planning a pilot project to test out the software,” he added. “We have written to agencies empanelled by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification Directorate certified iris machines,” said an official, adding that they were planning to undertake an Aadhaar-linked pilot project in any of the 12 financial inclusion districts in Maharashtra, including Mumbai and Pune.
