Direct Attacks Using Fake Images in Iris Verification

چکیده
In this contribution, the vulnerabilities of iris-based recognition systems to direct attacks are studied. A database of fake iris images has been created from real iris of the BioSec baseline database. Iris images are printed using a commercial printer and then, presented at the iris sensor. We use for our experiments a publicly available iris recognition system, which some modifications to improve the iris segmentation step. Based on results achieved on different operational scenarios, we show that the system is vulnerable to direct attacks, pointing out the importance of having countermeasures against this type of fraudulent actions.

Classifying Iris Image based on Hierarchical Visual Codebook and Encryption using Bio-Chaotic Algorithm (BCA)
The classification of the iris image under the fake or real and also adding security to it by encrypting it provides double the security. Iris recognition system can undergo the security attacks which can result into the fraudulent identity authentication. The attacker therefore will try to develop the methods which will spoof the iris biometrics. Therefore it becomes difficult to develop the r...
متن کاملEvaluation of direct attacks to fingerprint verification systems
The vulnerabilities of fingerprint-based recognition systems to direct attacks with and without the cooperation of the user are studied. Two different systems, one minutiae-based and one ridge feature-based, are evaluated on a database of real and fake fingerprints. Based on the fingerprint images quality and on the results achieved on different operational scenarios, we obtain a number of stat...

In current years, IRIS recognition is flattering a very dynamic topic in both research and sensible applications. In this part, fake IRIS is a possible hazard for IRIS based biometric systems. In this paper direct attacks using fake IRIS Images and its performance measures is presented. To improve the performance of the IRIS based biometric system the Electroencephalogram (EEG) is embedded. The...
متن کاملNovel Approach of Accurate Iris Localisation Form High Resolution Eye Images Suitable for Fake Iris Detection
High resolution images not only provide high recognition rate but also useful in safeguarding the iris recognition system from fake iris attack. To safeguard the iris recognition system against fake irises, one of the very popular technique is to detect the change in pupil size due to change in illumination. Many of existing methods assume that iris and pupil are circular or elliptical in natur...
متن کاملLearning Liveness Detection and Classification of Iris Images: A Detailed Survey
Iris recognition is most often used for security related applications and mainly suffer from illegal attacks. So an iris recognition system that identifies the fake iris image are much needed. In this paper, we present a novel iris texture representation method called Hierarchical Visual Codebook (HVC) is proposed to encode the texture primitives of iris images and are used for identifying the ...
