Impact of EPS-UAM ATVS group's discovery on the vulnerability of Iris Recognition Systems

One of the last research projects developed by EPS-UAM ATVS group, that has found a new vulnerability of Iris Recognition Systems, has had a great media impact. here are some links to media that has mentioned their work:
