The practice of fooling biometric authentication systems using fake biological traits such as silicone fingerprints, printed photographs, 3D-printed face models, recorded voice samples, or synthetic iris patterns. Advanced spoofing techniques use deepfake video to bypass liveness detection. Also called a presentation attack in biometrics industry terminology.
As organizations adopt biometric authentication for physical access and identity verification, penetration testers must know how to evaluate these systems for spoofing resistance. Security architects select biometric solutions based on their anti-spoofing capabilities. Understanding presentation attack detection (PAD) methods is essential for anyone specifying or testing biometric security controls.
