Subject: Biologger - A Biometric Keylogger

In this paper we realise a proof-of-concept implementation of a
biometric keylogger, or "Biologger". While conventional keyloggers are
typically used to obtain passwords or encryption keys to circumvent
specific security measures, our Biologger will aim to capture
biometric-related data between a biometric device and other processing
units, to be used and exploited in a number potential attack vectors
against the biometric system, such as manipulation of biometric data and
control signals, as per traditional man-in-the middle attacks.
