  Fingerprint recognition and matching is a common form of user authentication.
While a fingerprint is unique to each individual, authentication is vulnerable
when an attacker can forge a copy of the fingerprint (spoof). To combat these
spoofed fingerprints, spoof detection and liveness detection algorithms are
currently being researched as countermeasures to this security vulnerability.
This paper introduces a fingerprint anti-spoofing mechanism using machine
learning.
