Face-morphing attacks have been a cause for concern for a number of years. Striving to remain one step ahead of attackers, researchers have proposed many methods of both creating and detecting morphed images. These detection methods, however, have generally proven to be inadequate. In this work we identify two new, GAN-based methods that an attacker may already have in his arsenal. Each method is evaluated against state-of-the-art facial recognition (FR) algorithms and we demonstrate that improvements to the fidelity of FR algorithms do lead to a reduction in the success rate of attacks provided morphed images are considered when setting operational acceptance thresholds.
