The use of residual biometric information to gain unauthorized access is an example of which of the following
attacks?
A.
Replay
B.
Brute force
C.
Cryptographic
D.
Mimic
Explanation:
Residual biometric characteristics, such as fingerprints left on a biometric capture device, may be reused by an
attacker to gain unauthorized access. A brute force attack involves feeding the biometric capture device
numerous different biometric samples. A cryptographic attack targets the algorithm or the encrypted data, in a
mimic attack, the attacker reproduces characteristics similar to those of the enrolled user, such as forging a
signature or imitating a voice.
