Anti-spoofing or liveness detection on multi- biometric systems
Definition
Anti-spoofing, or liveness detection, in multimodal biometrics is intended as the ability of a multimodal biometric system of detecting and rejecting access trials in which one or more spoofed biometric traits are submitted. For example, if a malicious user tries to access a system protected by personal verification through face and fingerprint, by submitting his/her own face and a replica of the targeted client’s fingerprint, the system must be able to detect and reject this attack.
Introduction
Liveness detection in multimodal biometric systems refers to the case where each “modality” consists of a different kind of biometric trait (e.g., fingerprint and face), which is processed by a different biometric verification module. The classification performed by each module, independently, is then combined by score-level or decision-level fusion rules [13].
As well as unimodal biometric systems, multimodal...
