The fingerprint reader can be fooled by an ink jet printer

With the release of iPhone 5S fingerprint scanner on smartphones has become commonplace. This method of protection of personal data is more convenient than a permanent password. Moreover, the secret combination can be found, or spy, but with the imprint so can not be done. But this method has its drawbacks. Employees of the University of Michigan were able to fool a fingerprint sensor using a conventional inkjet printer. They are printed on glossy paper fingerprints using special conductive ink companies AgIC.


With the help of the printed fingerprint the researchers were able to easily get around the protection of the smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6 and Honor 7. It is noteworthy that the release takes place at the first attempt and immediately.
Print mark should be at a density of 200 dpi. In addition, it must exactly match the actual size and position of the finger with respect to the scanner.
