Abstract
Biometric systems on mobile devices are an increasingly ubiquitous method for identity verification. The majority of contemporary devices have an embedded fingerprint sensor which may be used for a variety of transactions including unlock a device or sanction a payment. In this study we explore how easy it is to successfully attack a fingerprint system using a fake finger manufactured from commonly available materials. Importantly our attackers were novices to producing the fingers and were also constrained by time. Our study shows the relative ease that modern devices can be attacked and the material combinations that lead to these attacks.
