Michigan State University biometrics researchers created a life-size 3-D model hand complete with fingerprints using a 3-D high resolution printer. While intended to help calibrate fingerprint scanners, they realized this technology could be used to spoof someone's hand and steal their identity. Now they want manufacturers to design a spoof-resistant scanner.
