Ant International Introduces Iris Authentication for Smart Payment Glasses

Currently, Alipay+ GlassPay utilizes multi-modal biometric verification measures, featuring an AI-powered voice interface with intent recognition and voiceprint authentication technology.

Iris authentication is considered more resilient against spoofing attacks that can affect other biometric methods, such as voice, face, or fingerprint recognition, due to its larger number of distinguishing feature points. Alipay+ GlassPay’s iris authentication examines over 260 biometric feature points to verify and safeguard user identity. It employs AI and advanced liveness detection technology to prevent fraud attempts using photos, videos, or 3D masks.

Ant International has partnered with smart glasses manufacturers Xiaomi and Meizu to implement various payment functionalities. For instance, smart glasses may enable consumers to hail rides and transition seamlessly from a satisfying offline try-on to an instant online purchase, resulting in a smoother checkout experience.
