Embedding Local Quality Measures in Minutiae-Based Biometric Recognition

Mohammad Hamed Izadi

Degradation in data quality is still a main source of errors in the modern biometric recognition systems. However, the data quality can be embedded in the recognition methods at global and local levels to build more accurate biometric systems. Local qualit ...

Private Eyes: Secure Remote Biometric Authentication

Bryan Alexander Ford

We propose an efficient remote biometric authentication protocol that gives strong protection to the user’s biometric data in case of two common kinds of security breaches: (1) loss or theft of the user’s token (smart card, handheld device, etc.), giving t ...

Biometrics systems under spoofing attack: an evaluation methodology and lessons learned

Sébastien Marcel, Nicholas Evans

Biometrics already form a significant component of current and emerging identification technologies. Biometrics systems aim to determine or verify the identity of an individual from their behavioral and/or biological characteristics. Despite significant pr ...

On the use of client identity information for face anti-spoofing

André Anjos, Ivana Chingovska

With biometrics playing the role of a password which can not be replaced if stolen, the necessity of establishing counter- measures to biometric spoofing attacks has been recognized. Regardless of the biometric mode, the typical approach of anti-spoofing s ...

Periocular Biometrics in Mobile Environment

Sébastien Marcel, Tiago De Freitas Pereira

In this work we study periocular biometrics in a challenging scenario: a mobile environment, where person recognition can take place on a mobile device. The proposed technique, that models session variability, is evaluated for the authentication task on th ...

Spoofing Face Recognition with 3D Masks

Sébastien Marcel

Spoofing is the act of masquerading as a valid user by falsifying data to gain an illegitimate access. Vulnerability of recognition systems to spoofing attacks (presentation attacks) is still an open security issue in biometrics domain and among all biomet ...

Motion-Based Counter-Measures to Photo Attacks in Face Recognition

Sébastien Marcel, André Anjos, Murali Mohan Chakka

Identity spoofing is a contender for high-security face recognition applications. With the advent of social media and globalized search, our face images and videos are wide-spread on the internet and can be potentially used to attack biometric systems with ...

Biometrics Evaluation Under Spoofing Attacks

Sébastien Marcel, André Anjos, Ivana Chingovska

While more accurate and reliable than ever, the trustworthiness of biometric verification systems is compromised by the emergence of spoofing attacks. Responding to this threat, numerous research publications address isolated spoofing detection, resulting ...

Palm vein recognition with local texture patterns

Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi, Andrzej Drygajlo

Biometric recognition using the palm vein characteristics is emerging as a touchless and spoof-resistant hand-based means to identify individuals or to verify their identity. One of the open challenges in this field is the creation of fast and modality-dep ...

Cross-Database Evaluation With an Open Finger Vein Sensor

Sébastien Marcel, Laurent El Shafey, Pedro Tomé

Finger vein recognition is a recent biometric application, which relies on the use of human finger vein patterns beneath the skin's surface. While several methods have been proposed in the literature, its applicability to uncontrolled scenarios has not yet ...
