    Sandström, Marie: Liveness Detection in Fingerprint Recognition Systems

    "Nine different systems were tested at the CeBIT trade fair in Germany and
    all were deceived. Three other different systems were put up against more
    extensive tests with three different subjects. All systems were circumvented
    with all subjects' artificial fingerprints, but with varying results."
