The BioSecure Network of Excellence 1 has collected a large multi-biometric publicly available database and organized the BioSecure Multimodal Evaluation Campaigns (BMEC) in 2007 2. This paper reports on the Talking Faces campaign. Open source reference systems were made available to participants and four laboratories submitted executable code to the organizer who performed tests on se-questered data. Several deliberate impostures were tested. It is demonstrated that forgeries are a real threat for such systems. A technological race is ongoing between deliberate impostors and system developers.
