In this section we discuss various biometric modalities, among which are human face, voice, fingerprints, iris, and others. We also expose common techniques behind biometric spoofing and hacking, review some modern cybersecurity know-hows, and provide details on how liveness detection based on the likes of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) can prevent these threats.

In liveness taxonomy, Adversarial Spoofing Attacks (AXs) refer to a malicious technique, in which spoofing data is presented as genuine to the authentication system. This type of attack exploits the lack of robustness in a Deep Neural Network (DNN), which is responsible for

Essentially, biometric spoofing combines two elements: a) Production and b) Presentation. The production stage implies creation of a synthetic artifact that imitates a certain biometric trait such as voice, face, fingerprint, eye retina, etc. The presentation stage includes direct

In biometric security, an injection attack is a type of indirect attack, in which a bona fide biometric trait is digitally replicated and presented to a security system on the internal, software level. This in turn tricks a recognition system into making a specific decision. (Although

In liveness taxonomy, Presentation Attacks (PA) is a demonstration of a certain physiological trait — fingerprint, face, voice — that is aimed at bypassing a biometric security system. Numerous sources also use the spoofing term to describe the issue. These attacks are
