Abstract: Abstract Iris recognition is used in various applications to identify a person. However, presentation attacks are making such systems vulnerable. Intruders can impersonate an individual to get entry into a system. In this paper, we have focused on print attacks, in which an intruder can use various techniques like printing of iris photographs to present to the sensor. Experiments conducted on the IIIT-WVU iris dataset show that print attack images of live iris images, use of contact lenses and conjunction of both can play a significant role in deceiving the iris recognition systems. The paper makes use of deep Convolutional Neural Networks to detect such spoofing techniques with superior results as compared to the existing state-of-the-art techniques.
