It functioned in \"one-to-all\" identification mode, searching a large database of some million enrolled frequent travellers to see if anyone matched the presenting iris. The passenger was not asked to assert any identity, e.g. by presenting a Passport or ID card which would then require only a \"one-to-one\" verification test against that single enrolled identity. Thus IRIS exploited the great robustness of iris recognition against making False Matches, since (unlike weak biometrics such as face recognition) it could survive the vast number of opportunities to make False Matches when searching a large database, instead of only needing to test just a single asserted identity. It was decommissioned in September 2013 in favour of e-passport entry using biometric data stored on the e-passport chip, which requires only a single asserted identity to be tested and thus could function using weaker biometrics in the simple \"one-to-one\" verification mode.IRIS relied on biometric technology to authenticate identity and was part of the e-borders initiative of the UK Government. It was claimed that some passengers found the system difficult to use, resulting in too many False Rejections which then required those passengers to join the normal queue for Passport presentation. But the main factor behind the decision to decommission IRIS was the cost of staffing the enrolment offices in airport terminals, whereas face recognition only required submitting a Passport-type photograph acquired in a photo-booth without the need for personal presentation to airport enrolment staff.The system cost about £4.9 million to develop and then about £4 million to operate."@en }
