Falsified Fingerprint Analysis
Fingerprint security has become essential for securing personal property such as cell phones. In theory, this in an extremely safe way to protect cell phones and their content from fraud but is this an efficient and accurate method. This research aims to show how a cell phone fingerprint scanner reacts to facsimile ‘copies’ of a fingerprint being used to hack into a phone. The ‘fake’ fingers will be composed of silicon, rubber cement, Jell-O, gelatin, Play-Doh and clay. Each of these will be tested against the phones scanner from a variety of angles in order to determine if the scanner can be fooled. Neither the Play-Doh nor the clay were able to hold any ridge detail, while the rubber cement, Jell-O, gelatin and silicon did. The Jell-O was not solid enough to be used as a finger, but the silicon had the best ridge detail of them all. When tested on the scanner, both the silicon and rubber cement were not recognized as a real finger. Meanwhile, the gelatin mimicked a real finger, but the scanner was able to distinguish that the gelatin finger was slightly different from the real one.
