Various systems, processes, and techniques may be used to achieve biometric identification via retina scanning with liveness detection. In some implementations, systems, processes, and techniques may include the ability to scan a retina to acquire at least one retina image and analyze the image to identify retinal components. The systems, processes, and techniques may also include the ability to compute and compare the information about the identified retinal components with pre-stored information and determine whether the scanned retina is associated with the pre-stored information. The systems, processes, and techniques may further include the ability to determine whether the imaged retina is composed of live tissue. The security system may then perform a chain of actions based on the matching and live tissue results.
