Biometric systems are increasingly replacing traditional password-and token-based
authentication systems. Security and recognition accuracy are the two most important …

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 …

Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, refers to the use of distinctive anatomical and/or
behavioral characteristics or identifiers (eg, fingerprints, face, iris, voice, and hand geometry) …

Identifying a person based on their behavioral and biological qualities in an automated
manner is called biometrics. The authentication system substituting traditional password and …

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

User authentication systems (in short authentication systems) have wide utilization in our
daily life. Unfortunately, existing authentication systems are prone to various attacks while …

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

Fingerprint liveness detection has gradually been regarded as a primary countermeasure for
protecting the fingerprint recognition systems from spoof presentation attacks. The …

Recently, fake fingerprint detection is a challenging task in the cyber-crime sector in any
developed country. Biometric authentication is growing in many sectors such as internet …

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 …
