Abstract

A method is provided for identifying and verifying a person using hand biometrics with an anti-spoofing measure. The method comprises acquiring (51) a first image (10) of a hand in a first configuration, acquiring (52) a second image (30, 40) of the hand in one of the first and a second configuration for comparison with the first image (10), determining (52) whether a person can be identified from at least one of the first image (10) and the second image (30, 40), and determining (55) from a comparison of the second image (30, 40) with the first image (10) whether the hand is a counterfeit.
