The utility model discloses a rapid authentication access control system based on iris recognition. When an outsider or an object approaches the access control system; the infrared sensing device senses and sends data to the control device; the control device automatically starts the telescopic platform; the identity card recognition device and the iris recognition device respectively collect useridentity card information and irises. The corresponding information is sent to the control device; the control device calls the cloud database, the comparative analysis module checks the user identity card information and iris of the memory and the collected user identity card information and iris data, if the verification is passed, the control device sends an instruction to the door control device, the control device sends a control instruction to the door control device, and the door control device controls the opening of the door. And if verification fails and external force acts on the to-be-detected door, alarm information is sent out. According to the rapid authentication access control system based on iris recognition, double verification of identity verification and iris recognition is utilized, so that the safety is effectively improved.
