Several issues related to the vulnerability of fingerprint recognition systems to attacks have
been highlighted in the biometrics literature. One such vulnerability involves the use of …

Nowadays, fingerprint biometrics is widely used in various applications, varying from
forensic investigations and migration control to access control as regards security sensitive …

To ensure the actual presence of a real legitimate trait in contrast to a fake self-manufactured
synthetic or reconstructed sample is a significant problem in biometric authentication, which …

The primary purpose of a fingerprint recognition system is to ensure a reliable and accurate
user authentication, but the security of the recognition system itself can be jeopardized by …

Biometric authentication systems are quite vulnerable to sophisticated spoofing attacks. To
keep a good level of security, reliable spoofing detection tools are necessary, preferably …

We present a style-transfer based wrapper, called Universal Material Generator (UMG), to
improve the generalization performance of any fingerprint spoof (presentation attack) …

In recent years, fingerprint authentication systems have been extensively deployed in
various applications, including attendance systems, authentications on smartphones, mobile …

A spoof attack, a subset of presentation attacks, is the use of an artificial replica of a
biometric in an attempt to circumvent a biometric sensor. Liveness detection, or presentation …

We propose a new local descriptor for fingerprint liveness detection. The input image is
analyzed both in the spatial and in the frequency domain, in order to extract information on …

Due to the lack of pre-judgment of fingerprints, fingerprint authentication systems are
frequently vulnerable to artificial replicas. Anonymous people can impersonate authorized …
