Abstract: In todays e-commerce world the e-business application require a very high level of authentication; as the existing traditional authenticating methods such as username; password; identity card etc can be easily stolen. To alleviate such problems the new authenticating methods using physiological/behavioral biometrics are emerged. Even the biometrics systems are fooled by spoofing techniques with fake biometric traits such as masked face; iris; fake finger print; hand geometry; voice and many more. Spoofing is an attack when a malicious party impersonates another device or a user on a network/system in order to launch a attacks against new hosts/system. Hence; the anti-spoofing methods required to challenge the intruders of the biometric system. However; spoofing attack is still a fatal threat for biometric authentication systems. Liveness detection; aims at recognition of human physiological activities as the liveness indicator to prevent spoofing attack. This paper presents an overview of different anti-spoofing methods used with biometric system. It also highlights the issues; challenges and applications of biometric systems with anti-spoofing techniques.
