In the case of mobile phones, the researchers bypassed fingerprint authentication on a majority of devices.
New research has found that it's possible to use 3D printing technology to create "Fake fingerprints" that can bypass most fingerprint scanners used by popular devices. Cisco Talos today came out with some new research regarding how these scanners can be defeated using different technologies like 3D printing, and basically looking at fingerprint scanners and the security behind them in general.
Two security researchers used a 3D printer and fabric glue to create a fake fingerprint that fooled authentication sensors 80% of the time. The biggest challenge was getting the size right for the fake fingerprint; 1 percent too small or too large and the fake fingerprint did not work.
