Abstract

The availability of biometric data for cybersecurity studies is very important and the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) provides a means of generating realistic fake biometric data that may mitigate some of the privacy concerns with using real biometric data. This paper trains a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) to generate fake biometric fingerprint images. The quality of the generated images is measured using the NFIQ2 algorithm and although the qualitative analysis of the fake fingerprints indicate that the images are of good quality, the NFIQ2 scores obtained for the fake fingerprints are of low utility value. We also explore fingerprint matching by first extracting the minutiae feature points from both the fake generated fingerprint samples and the real fingerprint images using the MINDTCT technique. The minutiae feature points from the fake fingerprint images are then matched (one-to-many) against feature points extracted from real fingerprint images using the BOZORTH3 algorithm. This is done in order to appraise the GANs ability to generate data points with features that generalize beyond the precise domain of the training datasets features. The results from the fingerprint matching show that the fake generated fingerprint samples contain unique fingerprint images.
