Biologger - A Biometric Keylogger

[newsbot]

In the paper linked in the end IRM realized a proof-of-concept implementation of a biometric keylogger, or "Biologger". While conventional keyloggers are typically used to obtain passwords or encryption keys to circumvent specific security measures, IRM's Biologger will aim to capture biometric-related data between a biometric device and other processing units, to be used and exploited in a number potential attack vectors against the biometric system, such as manipulation of biometric data and control signals, as per traditional man-in-the middle attacks.
