Faking fingerprint readers (or other biometric devices)

Wiesław Bicz

This is a collection concerning or links to papers describing different means used to gain acceptance to biometric fingerprint readers using artificial fingers or other methods which are able to deceive fingerprint readers (and other biometric devices). The authors give their opinions of numerous biometric devices and of the security (or lack thereof) of these readers.
