A Cross-database Study of Voice Presentation Attack Detection

Sébastien Marcel

Despite an increasing interest in speaker recognition technologies, a significant obstacle still hinders their wide deployment --- their high vulnerability to spoofing or presentation attacks. These attacks can be easy to perform. For instance, if an attac ...

DeepFakes: a New Threat to Face Recognition? Assessment and Detection

Sébastien Marcel

It is becoming increasingly easy to automatically replace a face of one person in a video with the face of another person by using a pre-trained generative adversarial network (GAN). Recent public scandals, e.g., the faces of celebrities being swapped onto ...

Presentation attack detection in voice biometrics

Sébastien Marcel

Recent years have shown an increase in both the accuracy of biometric systems and their practical use. The application of biometrics is becoming widespread with fingerprint sensors in smartphones, automatic face recognition in social networks and video-bas ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Face Anti-spoofing: Visual Approach

Sébastien Marcel, André Anjos

User authentication is an important step to protect information and in this regard face biometrics is advantageous. Face biometrics is natural, easy to use and less human-invasive. Unfortunately, recent work revealed that face biometrics is quite vulnerabl ...

Bi-Modal Biometric Authentication on Mobile Phones in Challenging Conditions

Sébastien Marcel, Laurent El Shafey

This paper examines the issue of face, speaker and bi-modal authentication in mobile environments when there is significant condition mismatch. We introduce this mismatch by enrolling client models on high quality biometric samples obtained on a laptop com ...

Can face anti-spoofing countermeasures work in a real world scenario?

Sébastien Marcel, André Anjos, Tiago De Freitas Pereira

User authentication is an important step to protect in- formation and in this field face biometrics is advantageous. Face biometrics is natural, easy to use and less human-invasive. Unfortunately, recent work has revealed that face biometrics is vulnerable ...
