IRIS is Worldcoin origin open-source Iris Recognition Inference System, designed for robust, scalable, and secure biometric identification. This fork of it now uses a hash-based matching approach, generating a 40-bit unique identifier for each iris, enabling O(1) lookup and cryptographic security at global scale.
- Hash-Based Matching: Each iris template is converted to a 40-bit unique ID using SHA-256, enabling exact, fast, and secure matching.
- O(1) Lookup: Matching is performed by comparing 40-bit integers, making the system highly scalable for billions of users.
- Cryptographic Security: Uses SHA-256 for template hashing, ensuring strong privacy and resistance to tampering.
- Modular Pipeline: Includes segmentation, feature extraction, and template generation.

- Storage: Each iris is represented by a 40-bit (5 byte) unique ID, reducing storage by over 1,000x compared to traditional templates.
- Speed: Matching is O(1) (integer comparison), suitable for massive-scale deployments.
- Security: SHA-256 hashing ensures cryptographic strength and privacy.
