Streszczenie
In this paper we discuss some imminent vulnerabilities of biometric systems, which have been potentially known for a longer time, yet they have not been sufficiently taken into account. In particular, we explain why comparing lower bounds of security of biometric systems with the state of the art lower bounds known from cryptography is a logical necessity and not a far reached goal: insufficient security in complex hybrid systems easily may compromise the stronger components in the complex.
