In the next few weeks, the intelligence community's research arm will launch two programs aimed at detecting fake fingerprints and developing devices to collect fingerprint data without a human operator.

IARPA's Odin program, set to begin with four prime developers in early March, aims to build detection technologies that can sense "presentation attacks" on biometric devices, such as fingerprint sensors.

Ask a group of people to guess a stranger’s weight, the thinking goes, and the average answer should be close to correct. This idea, termed the wisdom of crowds, is that in a large group errors of judgement should cancel each other out.

The intelligence community's research arm has two programs set to begin in the coming weeks aimed at detecting fake fingerprints and developing devices to collect fingerprint data without a human operator. The two aren't linked efforts, according to Chris Boehnen, senior program manager at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, but they could be used in a wide range of applications once they're made into real devices.
