Detection of Print-based Spoofing Attacks

Description:

This technology offers a sophisticated method for detecting spoofing attempts in biometric security systems, specifically targeting iris print-based attacks. By analyzing eye movements and comparing them to expected natural patterns, the system can identify discrepancies indicative of a print attack. This method leverages the inherent differences between a real human iris and a printed one, utilizing eye tracking mechanisms present in contemporary iris scanners.

 

Key Advantages:

  • Enhanced security against iris print spoofing attacks.
  • Utilizes existing iris scanner infrastructure with an additional layer of verification.
  • Non-invasive and quick detection process.
  • Based on natural eye movement, making it difficult for attackers to replicate.

 

Problems Solved:

  • Increases resilience of biometric security systems against spoofing.
  • Addresses the vulnerability of iris recognition systems to printed iris attacks.
  • Reduces the potential for unauthorized access through biometric spoofing.

 

Market Applications:

  • Biometric security systems for access control in secure facilities.
  • Banking and financial services for secure customer authentication.
  • Border control and immigration for enhanced identity verification.
  • Personal devices requiring high levels of security authentication.
