Double-identity biometrics

The feasibility of creating double-identity biometrics (faces, fingerprints and iris) poses serious security threats in security applications such as automated border control where biometrics are used to link the identity of a passenger to his/her e-document. For example, if a morphed face, which is similar enough to the biometric features of two subjects, can be included in an e-passport, then two persons can share it. From the pattern recognition point of view creating/detecting double-identity biometrics is particularly intriguing and can help understanding/overcoming some limitations of current state-of-the-art approaches.
