Introduction
Computers are largely used in almost each and every field including financial transactions, thus providing additional security measures for computer system is necessary.
The security measures to be used must be cheap, reliable and un-intrusive to the authorized person. The technique which meets these requirements is handwritten signature verification.
Why Handwritten Signature only?
Everyday transactionIndividuals less likely to objectIndividual’s signature is uniqueLess controversial
Categories of signature Identification
Offline Signature Verification deals with shape only
Online signature Verification deals with dynamic features like speed, pen
pressure, directions, stroke length, and when the pen is lifted from the paper
Challenging task
The main challenge with online Signature Identification technology is differentiating between the consistent parts of the signature and the behavioral parts of the signature that vary with each signing . A person’s signature is never entirely the same. The signature can vary substantially over an individual’s lifetime. Allowing for these variations while providing protection against forgers is a challenging task.
Some theory
Signature AcquisitionSignature Identification using global features
average pressure pen tilt average velocity Number of pen ups
Training
Signature Identification
Advantages
Low error rate.Forgery is detected even when the forger has
managed to get a copy of the authentic signature.
Fast and simple training.Cheap hardware. Little storage requirements.
