Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The fingerprint masque was a device used to fool biometric fingerprint scanners.

Consisting of a thin, liquid-crystal biometric screen applied to the fingertip, the fingerprint masque created a random or known fingerprint pattern. Advanced masques could be embedded with false DNA in order to circumvent sophisticated biometric scanners and readers.
