Touchless biometrics, particularly touchless fingerprint recognition, have gained significant
attention in recent years, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the need for clean and …

Face recognition provides a desirable solution for authentication and surveillance in Internet
of Things platforms for elderly care. However, its inclusion is challenging because of the …

In recent years, the need for secure, reliable, and easy-to-use automatic recognition
approaches has favored the diffusion of biometric systems. Such methods exploit …

Fingerprint and iris traits are used in sensitive applications and so, spoofing them can
impose a serious security threat as well as financial damages. Spoofing is a process of …

In this paper, we tackle the problem of deploying face recognition (FR) solutions in
heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. The main challenges are the optimal …

Spoofing attacks represent a major threat to facial recognition systems. There are many
types of attacks that can be carried out, ranging from 2D photo attacks to 3D mask attacks …

Social engineering (SE) is a form of deception that aims to trick people into giving access to
data, information, networks and even money. For decades SE has been a key method for …

Abstract Facial-based Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) systems increase the success rate
of spoof attacks to 70% detection accuracy. A spoof attack uses an image, video, or 3D …

Biometric authentication aims to verify whether an entity matches the claimed identity based
on biometric data. Despite its advantages, vulnerabilities, particularly those related to …

In this study, we propose a countermeasure against a presentation attack on a
photoplethysmogram (PPG)-based biometric authentication system. The countermeasure …
