Bayesian Hill-Climbing Attack and Its Application to Signature Verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general hill-climbing attack algorithm based on Bayesian adaption is presented. The approach uses the scores provided by the matcher to adapt a global distribution computed from a development set of users, to the local specificities of the client being attacked. The proposed attack is evaluated on a competitive feature-based signature verification system over the 330 users of the MCYT database. The results show a very high efficiency of the hill-climbing algorithm, which successfully bypassed the system for over 95% of the attacks.

Hill-Climbing Attack Based on the Uphill Simplex Algorithm and Its Application to Signature Verification
A general hill-climbing attack to biometric systems based on a modification of the downhill simplex algorithm is presented. The scores provided by the matcher are used in this approach to adapt iteratively an initial estimate of the attacked template to the specificities of the client being attacked. The proposed attack is evaluated on a competitive feature-based signature verification system o...
متن کاملSecurity evaluation of i-vector based speaker verification systems against hill-climbing attacks
This work studies the vulnerabilities of i-vector based speaker verification systems against indirect attacks. Particularly, we exploit the one-to-one representation of speakers via their corresponding i-vectors to perform Hill-Climbing based attacks; under the hypothesis that the inherent low-dimensionality of ivectors might represent a potential security breach to fraudulently access the syst...
متن کاملOn the vulnerability of face verification systems to hill-climbing attacks
In this paper, we use a hill-climbing attack algorithm based on Bayesian adaption to test the vulnerability of two face recognition systems to indirect attacks. The attacking technique uses the scores provided by the matcher to adapt a global distribution computed from an independent set of users, to the local specificities of the client being attacked. The proposed attack is evaluated on an ei...
متن کاملAn evaluation of indirect attacks and countermeasures in fingerprint verification systems
Biometric recognition systems are vulnerable to numerous security threats. These include direct attacks to the sensor or indirect attacks, which represent the ones aimed towards internal system modules. In this work, indirect attacks against fingerprint verification systems are analyzed in order to better understand how harmful they can be. Software attacks via hill climbing algorithms are impl...
متن کاملPractical Digital Signature Generation Using Biometrics
It is desirable to generate a digital signature using biometrics but not practicable because of its inaccurate measuring and potential hill-climbing attacks, without using specific hardware devices that hold signature keys or biometric templates securely. We study a simple practical method for biometrics based digital signature generation without such restriction, by exploiting the existing too...
