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 …

This paper presents a new approach to improve the performance of finger-vein identification
systems presented in the literature. The proposed system simultaneously acquires the finger …

Prevailing methods of human identification based on credentials (identification documents
and PIN) are not able to meet the growing demands for stringent security in applications …

Prevailing methods of human identification based on credentials (identification documents
and PIN) are not able to meet the growing demands for stringent security in applications …

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 …

In this paper, we investigate the use of a local discriminative feature space for fingerprint
liveness detection. In particular, we rely on the Weber Local Descriptor (WLD), which is a …

Presentation attack detection (PAD) is a critical component of automated fingerprint
recognition systems (AFRSs). However, existing PAD technologies based on optical …

Fingerprint liveness detection has gained increased attention recently due to the growing
threat of spoof presentation attacks. Among the numerous attempts to deal with this problem …
