Abstract

A spoof or artifact is a counterfeit biometric that is used in an attempt to circumvent a biometric sensor. Presentation attacks using an artifact have proven to still be effective against fingerprint recognition systems. Liveness detection aims to distinguish between live and fake biometric traits. Liveness detection is based on the principle that additional information can be garnered above and beyond the data procured by a standard authentication system, and this additional data can be used to determine if a biometric measure is authentic. The Fingerprint Liveness Detection Competition (LivDet) goal is to compare both software-based and hardware-based fingerprint liveness detection methodologies. The competition is open to all academic and industrial institutions. The number of competitors grows at every LivDet edition demonstrating a growing interest in the area.
