Biometrics in ABC: counter-spoofing research
Automated border control (ABC) is concerned with fast and secure processing for intelligence-led identification. The
FastPass project aims to build a harmonised, modular reference system for future European ABC. When biometrics is taken on
board as identity, spoofing attacks become a concern. This paper presents current research in algorithm development for
counter-spoofing attacks in biometrics. Focussing on three biometric traits, face, fingerprint, and iris, it examines possible types
of spoofing attacks, and reviews existing algorithms reported in relevant academic papers in the area of countering measures to
biometric spoofing attacks. It indicates that the new developing trend is fusion of multiple biometrics against spoofing attacks
Vulnerabilities in biometric systems: Attacks and recent advances in liveness detection
This is an electronic version of the paper presented at the Spanish Workshop on Biometrics 2007, SWB-07 held in Girona (Spain)A review of the state-of-the-art in direct and indirect attacks to fingerprint and iris automatic recognition security systems is presented. A summary of the novel liveness detection methods, which take advantage of different physiological properties to distinguish between real and fake biometric traits, is also reported.This work has been supported by the TIC2006-13141-C03-03 project of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology and the BioSecure NoE
