A new software-based liveness detection approach using a novel fingerprint
parameterization based on quality related features is proposed. The system is tested on a …

Recent advances in biometric technologies coupled with the increased threats in information
security has proliferated the applications of biometric systems to safeguard information and …

It has been showed that, by employing fake fingers, the existing fingerprint recognition
systems may be easily deceived. So, there is an urgent need for improving their security …

We introduce a fingerprint spoof detection technique based on MLP and SVM that combines
several features. The proposed technique is evaluated on two scenarios:(i) when an …

Recent works have shown that multimodal biometric systems are vulnerable to direct spoof
attacks, even partial ones. On the other hand, liveness detection approaches have been …

Spoofing is a real concern with regard to the security of biometric systems, especially in
personal identification systems based on contactless hand biometrics which can be easily …

Liveness detection in automatic fingerprint identification systems (AFIS) is an issue which
still prevents its use in many unsupervised security applications. In the last decade, various …

Biometry is a wide-used and pervasive approach to verify people identity, based on the
presence of some unique characteristics, having precise properties (ie biometric …

In order to make a personal authentication system based on fingerprints obtained from users
much securer, users' consciousness as well as intrinsic features of their fingerprints can be …

Spoofing is a very big challenge in biometrics, specially in face image. So many artificial
techniques are available to tamper or hide the original face. To ensure the actual presence …
