New electromagnetic interference attacks target facial recognition systems

Researchers have demonstrated a new type of attack against facial recognition systems that uses intentional electromagnetic interference. This method, conducted with accessible radio frequency equipment, targets the physical-to-digital pipeline of biometric sensors. The study assesses the robustness of current facial recognition models against these radio frequency-based attacks and introduces a new dataset of images captured with and without interference to serve as a benchmark for future research.
