Face recognition can benefit from the utilization of depth data captured using low-cost cameras, in particular for presentation attack detection purposes. Depth video output from these capture devices can however contain defects such as…
Biometric authentication service providers often claim that it is not possible to reverse-engineer a user's raw biometric sample, such as a fingerprint or a face image, from its mathematical (feature-space) representation. In this paper, we…
Skin distortion is a long standing challenge in fingerprint matching, which causes false non-matches. Previous studies have shown that the recognition rate can be improved by estimating the distortion field from a distorted fingerprint and…
Face anti-spoofing aims at identifying the real face, as well as the fake one, and gains a high attention in security-sensitive applications, liveness detection, fingerprinting, and so on. In this paper, we address the anti-spoofing problem…
The vulnerabilities of fingerprint authentication systems have raised security concerns when adapting them to highly secure access-control applications. Therefore, Fingerprint Presentation Attack Detection (FPAD) methods are essential for…
This chapter provides an introduction to Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) in fingerprint biometrics, also coined anti-spoofing, describes early developments in this field, and briefly summarizes recent trends and open issues.
A face spoofing attack occurs when an intruder attempts to impersonate someone who carries a gainful authentication clearance. It is a trending topic due to the increasing demand for biometric authentication on mobile devices, high-security…
In the field of forensic imaging, it is important to be able to extract a 'camera fingerprint' from one or a small set of images known to have been taken by the same camera. Ideally, that fingerprint would be used to identify an individual…
A spoof attack, a subset of presentation attacks, is the use of an artificial replica of a biometric in an attempt to circumvent a biometric sensor. Liveness detection, or presentation attack detection, distinguishes between live and fake…
We have witnessed rapid advances in both face presentation attack models and presentation attack detection (PAD) in recent years. Compared to widely studied 2D face presentation attacks (e.g. printed photos and video replays), 3D face…
Node forgery or impersonation, in which legitimate cryptographic credentials are captured by an adversary, constitutes one major security threat facing wireless networks. The fact that mobile devices are prone to be compromised and reverse…
Although extensive research has been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of AI tools and models in detecting deep fakes, the question remains unanswered regarding whether these models can accurately identify genuine images that appear…
Face recognition systems are designed to be robust against variations in head pose, illumination, and image blur during capture. However, malicious actors can exploit these systems by presenting a face photo of a registered user,…
Face recognition systems are increasingly deployed across a wide range of applications, including smartphone authentication, access control, and border security. However, these systems remain vulnerable to presentation attacks (PAs), which…
We address the problem of comparing fingerphotos, fingerprint images from a commodity smartphone camera, with the corresponding legacy slap contact-based fingerprint images. Development of robust versions of these technologies would enable…
