A Chronological Review of Fingerprint Forgery

Abstract

The article reviews the history of fingerprint forgery chronologically, based on about 70 papers, books and private communications. More than 30 known cases of fingerprint forgery are considered. Various techniques of fingerprint forgery are described and discussed as well as methods of fingerprint forgery detection.

A Survey on Antispoofing Schemes for Fingerprint Recognition Systems

“…This means spoofing methods have to primarily reproduce only first-and second-level information ]. Techniques employed for spoofing are categorized in Figure 9 and described next [Geller et al 1999[Geller et al , 2001Wiehe et al 2004;Fladsrud and Sollie 2004].…”

Introduction to identity usurpation applied to biometric modalities

“…For fmgerprints [17] B. Geller and al through a chronological study based on 70 papers, books and secret communications, noted more 30 cases of falsification of fingerprints, using different techniques, the study also cited methods of detection of false documents and fmgerprints. T. Matsumoto and al discuss in a workshop the various methods for the generation of artificial fingerprints to gain fraudulent access, this paper explains that it has become easy to create an artificial fingerprint using products widespread among the general public [18].…”

Robustness of multi-modal biometric verification systems under realistic spoofing attacks

“…Several methods to spoof fingerprints have been pro posed, since the early papers of [2,3]. The most adopted approach is the so-called "consensual" method, which is 4.…”

“…For instance, a fake fingerprint or a photo of the targeted client [2,3,4]. These replicas are acquired and processed as "live" biomet rics.…”
