Biometric payments<\/a>, like facial recognition and fingerprint identification, are becoming more popular. An estimated 36% of consumers<\/a> have used biometrics to pay for a purchase, and more than nine in 10 have at least heard of the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Biometric payments are more secure than tapping<\/a>, inserting<\/a>, or swiping a card to pay. That\u2019s because authorizing a purchase using inherence factors \u2014 like facial features or fingerprints \u2014 are much harder to replicate or steal than knowledge or ownership factors, like a password or a physical payment card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite these security benefits, biometric payments are not invulnerable to fraud. For example, sophisticated presentation attacks aimed specifically at biometric verification systems can cause a system to mistake fraudsters for legitimate users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we explore how presentation attacks work and discuss how they affect your business.
