Myth statement Status Notes
…a copy of an approved fingerprint etched in latex. Confirmed Licking the latex sample (to simulate sweat) was enough to fool the scanner.
…a ballistics gel copy of an approved fingerprint. Confirmed Licking the gel sample (to simulate sweat) was enough to fool the scanner.
…a paper copy of an approved fingerprint. Confirmed Licking the paper sample (to simulate sweat) was enough to fool the scanner.
I gleaned this from another site: link
...only works on old capacitive and optical sensors as proven by a Japanese engineer in 2002 with silly putty. E-field sensors canot be fooled the same way.
I guess if someone tries the first and last approach, we'll find out what kind of sensor Sony used.
