• Abstract: In this contribution, the vulnerabilities of iris-based recognition systems to direct attacks are studied. A database of fake iris images has been created from real iris of the BioSec baseline database. Iris images are printed using a commercial printer and then, presented at the iris sensor. We use for our experiments a publicly available iris recognition system, which some modifications to improve the iris segmentation step. Based on results achieved on different operational scenarios, we show that the system is vulnerable to direct attacks, pointing out the importance of having countermeasures against this type of fraudulent actions.

  Biometric authentication is susceptible to spoofing through physical or digital manipulation. Liveness detection classifies gaze data as real or fake, which is sufficient to detect physical presentation attacks. We propose IrisSwap as a novel attack on gaze-based liveness detection.

• Segmentation-Aware and Adaptive Iris Recognition [24.125681602124477]
  The quality of iris images acquired at-a-distance or under less constrained imaging environments is known to degrade the iris matching accuracy. The periocular information is inherently embedded in such iris images and can be exploited to assist in the iris recognition under such non-ideal scenarios. This paper presents such a segmentation-assisted adaptive framework for more accurate less-constrained iris recognition.
