DeepMasterPrints: fingerprints that unlock everything! Researchers from New York University have created a set of master keys from fingerprints that can be used to infringement biometric identification systems.
Effectiveness; The fingerprint database used by the researchers was likely to fake falsely with a random fingerprint one in 1000 times, and the keys they created matched one in five times.
Their study was published on ArXiv and proves that fingerprints can be artificially created using engineeringlearning and used to hack databases used by fingerprint authentication systems.
This is of course very worrying because more and more devices use large-scale databases to uniquely identify users.
A study published last year by Counterpoint Research showed that over 50% of smartphones launched in 2017 had fingerprint sensors, and it predicted that number would increase to 71% by the end of 2018.
Artificial prints were called DeepMasterPrints by researchers, and can accurately mimic one in five fingerprints.
Using millions δακτυλικά αποτυπώματα, τα νευρωνικά networks they created fake prints that look very convincingly like real prints.
DeepMasterPrints can be used to violate a system that requires fingerprint authentication without even needing fingerprints of the user.
