New Fingerprint Biometric Attack

Just finished reading an interesting article on SecurityFocus that deals with new methods to defeat biometric fingerprint scanners used to authenticate electronic purchasing systems.

In this article it goes into considerable detail about the technique and attack, which was presented at the Chaos Computer Camp last weekend in East Berlin.

Anyway you look at it, its a pretty good read. I liked the Japanese gelatin method from last year better though.... you could eat the evidence!
