BrutePrint manipulates the false acceptance rate (FAR) to increase the threshold so fewer approximate images are accepted.
BrutePrint acts as an adversary in the middle between the fingerprint sensor and the trusted execution environment and exploits vulnerabilities that allow for unlimited guesses…
