DeepMasterPrints: fingerprints of Passepartout!

DeepMasterPrints: that open everything! Researchers from New York University have created a set of master keys from fingerprints that can be used to breach 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.DeepMasterPrints

Their study, published on ArXiv, demonstrates that fingerprints can be artificially created using machine learning and used to breach databases used by control systems. fingerprints.

This is of course very worrying because more and more they use large-scale data to uniquely identify users.

A study published last year by Counterpoint Research showed that over 50% of smartphones that were running 2017 had fingerprint sensors and predicted that the 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 of fingerprints, the neural ones 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.
