Spoofing through the use of artefacts is generally a concern for physiological biometric technologies such as fingerprint, hand, iris etc. Several studies dating from around 1998 have demonstrated the potential for successfully mounting a spoofing attack under carefully controlled conditions. If spoofing attacks can be successful, the fundamental tenet of biometrics – the “something you ...
