IARPA wants to know when someone tries to trick biometric scanners
Under the four-year contract for IARPA's Odin Program, SRI will develop "dynamic biometrics" that can detect attempts to evade or deceive biometric systems such as fingerprint, iris and face scanners, according to an SRI news release.
The inability of current biometric sensors to detect these "presentation attacks" limit these sensors to "relatively low risk applications such as unlocking one’s phone, or applications in which a human guard is present to spot and stop overtly suspicious activity," SRI said.
