Biometric presentation attack detection: beyond the visible spectrum
The increased need for unattended authentication in
multiple scenarios has motivated a wide deployment of biometric
systems in the last few years. This has in turn led to the
disclosure of security concerns specifically related to biometric
systems. Among them, presentation attacks (PAs, i.e., attempts
to log into the system with a fake biometric characteristic or
presentation attack instrument) pose a severe threat to the
security of the system: any person could eventually fabricate
or order a gummy finger or face mask to impersonate someone
else. In this context, we present a novel fingerprint presentation
attack detection (PAD) scheme based on i) a new capture device
able to acquire images within the short wave infrared (SWIR)
spectrum, and i i) an in-depth analysis of several state-of-theart
techniques based on both handcrafted and deep learning
features. The approach is evaluated on a database comprising
over 4700 samples, stemming from 562 different subjects and
35 different presentation attack instrument (PAI) species. The
results show the soundness of the proposed approach with a
detection equal error rate (D-EER) as low as 1.35% even in a
realistic scenario where five different PAI species are considered
only for testing purposes (i.e., unknown attacks
Deep Learning based Fingerprint Presentation Attack Detection: A Comprehensive Survey
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 ensuring reliable fingerprint authentication. Owing
to the lack of generation capacity of traditional handcrafted based approaches,
deep learning-based FPAD has become mainstream and has achieved remarkable
performance in the past decade. Existing reviews have focused more on
hand-cratfed rather than deep learning-based methods, which are outdated. To
stimulate future research, we will concentrate only on recent
deep-learning-based FPAD methods. In this paper, we first briefly introduce the
most common Presentation Attack Instruments (PAIs) and publicly available
fingerprint Presentation Attack (PA) datasets. We then describe the existing
deep-learning FPAD by categorizing them into contact, contactless, and
smartphone-based approaches. Finally, we conclude the paper by discussing the
open challenges at the current stage and emphasizing the potential future
perspective.Comment: 29 pages, submitted to ACM computing survey journa
On the Generalisation Capabilities of Fingerprint Presentation Attack Detection Methods in the Short Wave Infrared Domain
Nowadays, fingerprint-based biometric recognition systems are becoming
increasingly popular. However, in spite of their numerous advantages, biometric
capture devices are usually exposed to the public and thus vulnerable to
presentation attacks (PAs). Therefore, presentation attack detection (PAD)
methods are of utmost importance in order to distinguish between bona fide and
attack presentations. Due to the nearly unlimited possibilities to create new
presentation attack instruments (PAIs), unknown attacks are a threat to
existing PAD algorithms. This fact motivates research on generalisation
capabilities in order to find PAD methods that are resilient to new attacks. In
this context, we evaluate the generalisability of multiple PAD algorithms on a
dataset of 19,711 bona fide and 4,339 PA samples, including 45 different PAI
species. The PAD data is captured in the short wave infrared domain and the
results discuss the advantages and drawbacks of this PAD technique regarding
unknown attacks
