Faking a fingerprint (part 3)

Posted by pathologist

Dear all, since the problem of faking fingerprints attracted so much interest, I decided to compile here few available videos. I am sure you can find more. If you meet something interesting, please drop a link in comments.

1. Karen Friar has sent a link to Dialogue Box video
2.This one gets the same result with some other tools and materials
3. I personnaly love this one.
4. This one is really interesting for those who understand. They trick a Upek swipe-type capacitive sensor with a piece of wet paper.
5. One more crack of Digital Persona with gelly fingers. in German

I hope that you agree with me now, there is no fingerprint sensor that cannot be tricked by artificial fingerprints. But I want you to understand me right. I am not against using biometrics! I am biometrics stickler! I beleive that it just shall be used in right place and it shall be called by the right name - not security provider, but security assistant.
