Biometric systems based on iris are vulnerable to several attacks, particularly direct attacks consisting on the presen-tation of a fake iris to the sensor. The development of iris liveness detection techniques is crucial for the deployment of iris biometric applications in daily life specially in the mobile biometric field. The 1 st Mobile Iris Liveness Detec-tion Competition (MobILive) was organized in the context of IJCB2014 in order to record recent advances in iris live-ness detection. The goal for (MobILive) was to contribute to the state of the art of this particular subject. This com-petition covered the most common and simple spoofing at-tack in which printed images from an authorized user are presented to the sensor by a non-authorized user in order to obtain access. The benchmark dataset was the MobBIOfake database which is composed by a set of 800 iris images and its corresponding fake copies (obtained from printed images of the original ones captured with the same handheld device and in similar conditions). In this paper we present a brief description of the methods and the results achieved by the six participants in the competition.
