Method for recognition of natural skin, based on the properties of visible and near visible light scattered from the skin surface, thus increasing the security of biometric fingerprint identification

摘要

Method for recognition of natural skin (5) in which the skin surface (4) is illuminated with visible or near-visible light so that the light that enters into the skin and is then scattered outwards again is detected by a detector. The signal measured by the detector is compared with stored data in order to determine if the skin and skin surface are natural. The invention also relates to a corresponding device.
