Abstract
A method (100) of authenticating a subject (21) using a plurality of biometric traits, comprising: determining (110) a first data set representative of a first biometric trait that is based on at least one of iris pattern or iris colour of the subject; determining (120) a second data set representative of a second biometric trait that is based on a corneal surface of the subject; comparing (130) the first data set representative of the first biometric trait with a first reference and the second data set representative of the second biometric trait with a second reference; and authenticating (140) an identity of the subject based on the comparison.

An apparatus for authenticating a subject using a plurality of biometric traits comprising:
- an image capture device to capture one or more images;
- a processing device to:
- determine a first data set from the one or more images, the first data set representative of a first biometric trait that is based on at least one of iris pattern or iris colour of the subject;
- determine a second data set from the one or more image, the second data set representative of a second biometric trait that is based on a corneal surface of the subject;
- compare the first data set representative of the first biometric trait with a first reference and the second data set representative of the second biometric trait with a second reference;
- and
