    d) receiving, by the prompt producing device, the prompt signal;

    e) in response to the received prompt signal, producing, by the prompt producing device, a prompt, and applying the prompt to the putative human, wherein the prompt induces a change in the physiologic state of an iris of an eye of the putative human;

    f) capturing, by a digital camera, a plurality of images of the of the putative human following the application of the prompt and providing a representation of said images to said processor;

    g) comparing, by the processor, (1) the information representing the images of the putative human iris with (2) the stored information representing the registered human iris, and determining a match between the stored information and the inputted information; and
