Here's the situation: adversaries are using a set of compromised credentials to fraudulently access a system.

The next step is revocation and reissuing credentials.

You cannot revoke someone's fingerprints. Or at least they'll probably object once you fire up the blowtorch.

Are you familiar with the biometric menagerie? http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=4...
