D. Jude Hemanth, Nisha Joy Thomas · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2024
In the area of biometric authentication, vascular biometrics has been highlighted off late due to its much-appreciated list of advantages which promotes more efficient person identification and authentication. Finger Vein Recognition Systems (FVRS) is an emerging biometric technology gaining much attention throughout the world especially in the banking sector, cashless/cardless money transfer, ATM systems and soon. Finger vein authentication systems have the threat of spoof attacks or presentation attacks (PA) which affects the security measures in a serious manner. Since vascular biometrics is receiving more attention in the field of financial transfer, being aware of the possible security attacks is a necessity. This paper presents a review of selected literature on presentation attacks in finger vein authentication systems. Also listing the pros and cons of the presentation attack detection methods and certain ways to prevent PA. The pros and challenges of dealing with FVRS have also been listed here.
