Abstract: A method of iris scanning and proximity sensing, which includes receiving and photographing an iris in the iris scanning mode of the subject computer, laptop, mobile device or tablet, smartphone or i-phone; sensing for the available amount of necessary light and whether the iris is within the desired range to ensure proper acquisition of the sample. The iris is then photographed. The method provides for recognizing the iris utilizing the previously photographed iris image and converting the photographed iris image to an encrypted mathematical value, which will then be stored within the acquiring electronic device such as computer, laptop, smartphone; i-phone; mobile device or tablet, to be compared for future reference against any subject photographed iris. If any subsequently photographed iris matches the encrypted mathematical stored image, access to the device is granted. If the subsequently photographed iris does not match the encrypted mathematical stored image, access is denied.
