A Preliminary Study of Fake Fingerprints
نویسنده
چکیده
Fingerprint is a widely used biometrics. Its extensive usage motivates imposter to fabricate fake fingerprints. Vitality detection has been proposed to prevent counterfeit finger attack. Currently the detection can be done either during the process of acquiring fingerprint image or by comparing multiple sequentially acquired images. It is an ongoing research problem to detect whether a given fingerprint image is obtained from a real or a fake fingertip. In this paper we look into the differences between real and fake fingerprints as the first step to approach this problem. Specifically, we study the effects of different imaging sensors on the sizes of templates and on the matching scores between real and fake fingerprints. We also compare the fake fingerprints made from different materials. Experiments are carried out with two publicly available fingerprint databases and the findings are reported.

Patch-based Fake Fingerprint Detection Using a Fully Convolutional Neural Network with a Small Number of Parameters and an Optimal Threshold
Fingerprint authentication is widely used in biometrics due to its simple process, but it is vulnerable to fake fingerprints. This study proposes a patch-based fake fingerprint detection method using a fully convolutional neural network with a small number of parameters and an optimal threshold to solve the above-mentioned problem. Unlike the existing methods that classify a fingerprint as live...

متن کاملRobustness Evaluation of Biometric Systems under Spoof Attacks
In spite of many advantages, multi-modal biometric recognition systems are vulnerable to spoof attacks, which can decrease their level of security. Thus, it is fundamental to understand and analyse the effects of spoof attacks and propose new methods to design robust systems against them. To this aim, we are developing a method based on simulating the fake score distributions of individual matc...

This paper proposes an end-to-end CNN(Convolutional Neural Networks) model that uses gram modules with parameters that are approximately 1.2MB in size to detect fake fingerprints. The proposed method assumes that texture is the most appropriate characteristic in fake fingerprint detection, and implements the gram module to extract textures from the CNN. The proposed CNN structure uses the fire ...

In the modern era, with the growing need of biometric technologies, spoof attacks are becoming a serious concern. A number of solutions have been proposed to detect the use of fake fingerprints[3]. This paper takes advantage of skin elements in fingerprints, namely: minutiae points and Ridge Bifurcations to investigate spoof attacks. Graphical results using histogram approach in MATLAB show the...
