What are Biometric Attacks?
Biometric Attacks can be grouped into two categories:
Presentation Attacks
Masks, paper printouts, and screens - whether real or deepfaked - are shown to the camera. If the system accepts them, the fraudster gains access. These can be prevented by using passive checks such as textures, patterns, or light reflection that are harder to fake.
Injection Attacks
Photos or videos - whether real or deepfaked - are digitally injected into the camera software. More advanced than presentation attacks, injection attacks rely on software tools like emulators that wouldn’t normally be used by legitimate users. The best way to prevent these is by blocking the use of these tools in the first place.
