A Comprehensive survey on Iris Presentation attacks and Detection based on Generative Adversarial Network

In Biometric traits, Iris plays an important role in person authentication because it has complex structure and the patterns have unique and rich features as compared to other traits such as face, finger print. It is most secure and faster biometric authentication and very difficult to forge. Because of these features, it is widely used in critical applications like national Identifications and passport less border crossing system. As the iris recognition system is more popular, the adversary has aimed to produce various types of threats towards the iris data to make recognition system fail. It is necessary to develop effective security measures against the security attacks. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of various iris poisoning and presentation attacks as well as important defending methods and countermeasures. Finally this study is discussing about the open issues and future research directions.
