Abstract

Spoofing attacks in biometric systems pose significant challenges to security and reliability, especially in the context of finger vein recognition. This paper investigates spoofing techniques targeting finger vein authentication systems and explores the effectiveness of texture descriptors in counteracting such attacks. We propose a novel approach that utilizes advanced texture descriptors, such as Local Binary Patterns (LBP), Gabor filters, and Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), to capture the unique textural features of authentic finger vein patterns. These descriptors are employed to differentiate between genuine and spoofed finger vein images, enhancing the robustness of the system against presentation attacks. Our experimental results demonstrate that texture descriptors can significantly improve the accuracy of finger vein recognition systems, effectively identifying counterfeit or altered finger vein patterns, and mitigating spoofing risks. The proposed method offers a promising solution to enhance the security of biometric authentication systems, providing a higher level of protection against fraudulent attempts.
