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
