Abstract: Various systems, processes, and techniques may be used to achieve biometric identification via retina scanning. In some implementations, systems, processes, and techniques may include the ability to scan a retina using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope to acquire at least one retina image, analyze the image to identify retina blood vessels, and identify a plurality of branch points of the retina blood vessels. The systems processes, and techniques may also include the ability to calculate a data set that represents the identified branch points, compare the calculated data set representing the branch points against at least one pre-stored data set representing retina branch points, and determine whether the calculated data set corresponds to the pre-stored data set.
