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hand-cratfed rather than deep learning-based methods, which are outdated.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
Distinguishing Computer-generated Graphics from Natural Images Based on Sensor Pattern Noise and Deep Learning
Computer-generated graphics (CGs) are images generated by computer software.
The~rapid development of computer graphics technologies has made it easier to
generate photorealistic computer graphics, and these graphics are quite
difficult to distinguish from natural images (NIs) with the naked eye. In this
paper, we propose a method based on sensor pattern noise (SPN) and deep
learning to distinguish CGs from NIs. Before being fed into our convolutional
neural network (CNN)-based model, these images---CGs and NIs---are clipped into
image patches. Furthermore, three high-pass filters (HPFs) are used to remove
low-frequency signals, which represent the image content. These filters are
also used to reveal the residual signal as well as SPN introduced by the
digital camera device. Different from the traditional methods of distinguishing
CGs from NIs, the proposed method utilizes a five-layer CNN to classify the
input image patches. Based on the classification results of the image patches,
we deploy a majority vote scheme to obtain the classification results for the
full-size images. The~experiments have demonstrated that (1) the proposed
method with three HPFs can achieve better results than that with only one HPF
or no HPF and that (2) the proposed method with three HPFs achieves 100\%
accuracy, although the NIs undergo a JPEG compression with a quality factor of
