Counterfeit defenses built on paper have blind spots 2025-12-24 at 08:17 By Anamarija Pogorelec Counterfeit protection often leans on the idea that physical materials have quirks no attacker can copy. A new study challenges that comfort by showing how systems built on paper surface fingerprints can be disrupted or bypassed. The research comes from teams
