Patent number: 11144641Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting replay attacks on a biometric-based authentication system are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the method includes generating a command set causing a fingerprint sensor to sequentially conduct a scan of pixels in the fingerprint sensor, wherein the command set includes one or more replay attack detection commands causing the fingerprint sensor to capture replay attack detection data, sending the commands to the fingerprint sensor, receiving fingerprint data, and evaluating the fingerprint data for the replay attack detection data. In some embodiments, the one or more replay attack detection commands include repeating the scan of a selected row of pixels, providing insufficient bias to a selected row of pixels, and/or providing too much bias to a selected row of pixels. In some embodiments, the replay attack detection commands are randomly generated for each scan. Various other aspects of the technology are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: NEXT Biometrics Group ASAInventors: Jamie Lyn Shaffer, Mark William Naumann

Patent number: 7466002Abstract: A detector configuration determines the direction of illumination incident on a photosensitive device. Multiple mask layers include holes which form an interlayer optical path through which radiation reaches a photodetector. The interlayer optical path provides a selected nominal maximum signal angle and the detector senses when radiation is received at or near that angle. In one embodiment, three holes in three metallization layers provide an arbitrarily narrow interlayer optical path with improved angular detection relative to that provided by two holes. An illumination direction-sensing array may use multiple instances of the detector configuration. The detector configuration may provide enhanced utility and economy by being adapted to use only those fabrication steps used for fabricating other primary circuits on an IC.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2006Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Mitutoyo CorporationInventor: Jamie Lyn Shaffer
