Abstract
Biometric-based recognition has been replacing conventional recognition methods in security systems. Modern electronic devices such as smartphones and online services have been employing biometric systems because of their security, acceptability, and usability. However, the wide deployment of Biometrics raises security concerns including attacks that aim to interfere with a system’s operation. This paper provides a review of potential threats which may affect biometric systems’ security, particularly, Presentation Attack (PA). A general taxonomy of presentation attacks is proposed to cover different biometric modalities considering the attacker’s intention and the presentation instrument. Moreover, Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) mechanisms that aim to eliminate or mitigate those attacks are also taxonomized. The taxonomy analyzes PAD mechanisms wherein the biometric trait pattern is considered to classify PAD methods. A state of the art study has been carried out to investigate PA and PAD for six biological and behavioral modalities.
