While biometrics technology has revolutionized approaches to person
authentication and has evolved to play a critical role in personal,
national and global security, the potential for the technology to be
fooled or ‘spoofed’ is widely acknowledged. Efforts to study such
threats and to develop countermeasures are now well underway resulting in
some promising solutions. While progress with respect to each biometric
modality has attained varying degrees of maturity, there are some notable
shortcomings in research methodologies. Current spoofing studies focus on
specific, known attacks. Existing countermeasures designed to detect and
deflect such attacks are often based on unrealistic a priori knowledge
and typically learned using training data produced using exactly the same
spoofing method that is to be detected. Current countermeasures thus have
questionable application in practical scenarios where the nature of the
attack can never be known. This special issue will focus on the latest
research on the topic of biometric spoofing and countermeasures, with a
particular emphasis on novel methodologies and generalized spoofing
countermeasures that have the potential to protect biometric systems
against varying or previously unseen attacks. The aim is to further the
state-of-the-art in this field, to stimulate interactions between the
biometrics and information forensic communities, to encourage the
development of reliable methodologies in spoofing and countermeasure
assessment and solutions, and to promote the development of generalized
countermeasures. Papers on biometric obfuscation (e.g., fingerprint or
face alteration) and relevant countermeasures will also be considered in
the special issue. Novel contributions related to both traditional
biometric modalities such as face, iris, fingerprint, and voice, and
other modalities such as vasculature and electrophysiological signals
will be considered. The focus includes, but is not limited to, the
following topics related to spoofing and anti-spoofing countermeasures in
biometrics:

* vulnerability analysis with an emphasis on previously unconsidered
  spoofing attacks;
* theoretical models for attack vectors;
* advanced machine learning and pattern recognition algorithms for
  anti-spoofing;
* information theoretic approaches to quantify spoofing vulnerability;
* spoofing and anti-spoofing in mobile devices;
* generalized countermeasures;
* challenge-response countermeasures;
* sensor-based solutions to spoof attacks;
* biometric obfuscation schemes;
* information forensic approaches to spoofing detection;
* new evaluation protocols, datasets, and performance metrics;
* reproducible research (public databases, open source software and
  experimental setups).
