Abstract
This work proposes a novel approach to secure fingerprint scanners against the presentation of fake fingerprints. An odor sensor (electronic nose) is used to sample the odor signal and an ad-hoc algorithm allows to discriminate the finger skin odor from that of other materials such as latex, silicone or gelatin, usually employed to forge fake fingerprints. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
This work was partially supported by European Commission (BioSec – FP6 IST-2002-001766).
Patent Pending (IT #BO2005A000398).
