Using Machine Learning to Create Fake Fingerprints

Researchers are able to create fake fingerprints that result in a 20% false-positive rate. The problem is that these sensors obtain only partial images of users' fingerprints -- at the points where they make contact with the scanner. The paper noted that since partial prints are not as distinctiv...

HASSH - A Network Fingerprinting Standard Which Can Be Used To Identify Specific Client And Server SSH Implementations
