Why did the CBSA choose iris recognition biometric technology for CANPASS Air?
Compared to other biometric technologies available, including fingerprint identification, facial and voice recognition, iris recognition technology is the fastest, secure, accurate, reliable, and most appropriate tool for the CANPASS Air program requirements. Iris recognition provides maximum security with a non-intrusive biometric that is easy to use. Through research and consultation, it was determined that iris recognition technology is the only option that fulfils all the requirements of the CANPASS Air program.
