Biometrics is a powerful tool for identifying and authenticating persons based on their
unique characteristics. Finger vein (FV) seems to be an emerging biometric of all types of …

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 …

The investigation of vascular biometric traits has become increasingly popular during the
last years. This book chapter provides a comprehensive discussion of the respective state of …

In recent years, the popularity of fingerprint-based biometric authentication systems
significantly increased. However, together with many advantages, biometric systems are still …

Vascular patterns in the hand region are not visible to the naked eye or consumer cameras,
therefore finger and hand vein biometrics is often considered invulnerable to presentation …

Fingerprint presentation attack detection is becoming an increasingly challenging problem
due to the continuous advancement of attack preparation techniques, which generate …

Within the last few decades, the need for subject authentication has grown steadily, and
biometric recognition technology has been established as a reliable alternative to …

The diffusion of fingerprint verification systems for security applications makes it urgent to
investigate the embedding of software-based presentation attack detection algorithms (PAD) …

The increased usage of biometric authentication systems has raised concerns regarding the
security of components in a biometric system. As a consequence, preventing security issues …
