Case A) Airport Immigration False Identification
S. Korean woman 'tricked' airport fingerprint scan in Japan
A South Korean woman entered Japan on a fake passport in April 2008 by slipping through a state-of-the-
art biometric immigration control system using special tape on her fingers to alter her fingerprints, it was
learned Wednesday.
According to sources, the woman, 51, was deported from Japan in 2007 for staying illegally. However, she was
found in August 2008 to have reentered the country and was detained by the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau.
The woman was quoted as telling the immigration bureau that she put special tape on her index fingers to cheat
the fingerprint scanner at immigration…..
The woman also was quoted as saying that the broker gave her the special tape with someone else's
fingerprints on, and that she slipped past the biometric recognition system by holding her taped index
fingers over the scanner.
According to an analysis by the bureau, regular adhesive tape does not work, as the scanner fails to read any
prints. The results have led the immigration bureau to suspect that the woman might have used a special tape
bearing someone else's fingerprints.
According to the ministry, the immigration section at Aomori Airport kept images of the woman's fingerprints, but
they were imperfect and did not match the genuine fingerprints of the woman.

Governments workers in Suwon City received USD28
millions for their allowance for overtime work by
false report
The government workers from Suwon city have received unduly USD28
millions for the past 5 years by writing false information in the overtime
work check book ….
In Korea, most of other cities have applied fingerprint system for preventing
false report of the overtime work. However, the Suwon city still uses the
overtime check book which can be written by hands....

Case C) Fake Fingerprints selling on Internet in China
In China, fake fingerprints are currently sold on Internet
and many workers are buying it for fooling fingerprint
system for Time & Attendance check.
As shown in the picture, it only costs RMB20 (Appx.
USD3) for one fingerprint.

Fingerprint Security Token
Fake Fingerprint Defensive Power Assessment Report
YONSEI University
Biometrics Engineering Research Center (BERC)
Designated by the Korea Science Engineering
Foundation
◎ Review and Comment
- In case of scenario B (real fingerprint enrollment/
fake fingerprint authentication), the tested Union
Community’s fingerprint security token has the spoof
acceptance rate of 0% and defensive power
performance value of 1 against fake fingerprints of
paper, OHP film, rubber, silicone, gelatin, and
prosthetic hand. Therefore, for this fingerprint
security token, the authentication with general fake
fingerprints as well as fake fingerprints used in this
test is determined to be very difficult.
- Therefore, the Union Community’s fingerprint
security token was found to have a very strong
defensive power against fake fingerprints in all
scenarios.

As shown in the FVC website, UNIONCOMMUNITY
fingerprint algorithm for matching is ranked 1st top in
the FVC-on Going test using FMISO HARD and
STANDARD Template DB.
* FMISO-HARD-1.0: Contains a relevant number of difficult cases (noisy images, distorted
impressions, etc.) that makes fingerprint verification more challenging. Results do not
necessarily reflect the expected accuracy in real applications but allow to better discriminate
the performance of various fingerprint recognition algorithms.
