Abstract

Biometric systems on mobile devices are an

increasingly ubiquitous method for identity verification. The

majority of contemporary devices have an embedded fingerprint

sensor which may be used for a variety of transactions including

unlock a device or sanction a payment. In this study we explore

how easy it is to successfully attack a fingerprint system using a

fake finger manufactured from commonly available materials.

Importantly our attackers were novices to producing the fingers

and were also constrained by time. Our study shows the relative

ease that modern devices can be attacked and the material

combinations that lead to these attacks.
