Use of creative materials for fingerprint spoofs

The aim of this article is to describe the usage of creative materials for fingerprint spoofs. The majority of these materials are used in some kind of modeling (hence creative materials). In total 21 materials were tested. PCB mold was created from fingerprints taken by various semi-cooperative methods. Using this mold the first set of materials was tested. From these materials the best ones were chosen to be the second stage. Spoofs from the second stage were acquired by several sensors and evaluated by NFIQ and COTS product software. The most promising materials which were tested are latex, Siligum and wax sheet.
