3-D Finger Spoof (IMAGE) Michigan State University Caption MSU's biometrics expert Anil Jain and his Ph.D. student Joshua Engelsma have, for the first time, designed and created a fake finger containing multiple key properties of the human skin. Commonly called a spoof, this fake finger is being used to test fingerprint readers to help determine their resilience to spoof attacks and which will lead to more resilient fingerprint readers.
