Signature-Based Biometric Authentication

In a modern, civilized and advanced society, reliable authentication and authorization of individuals are becoming more essential tasks in several aspects of daily activities and as well as many different important applications such as in financial transactions, access control, travel and immigration, healthcare etc. In some situations, when individual equipment is required for confirmation of one’s identity to other groups of people in order to make use of services or to achieve access to physical places, it is always necessary to declare self-identity and to prove the claim. Traditional authentication methods, which are based on knowledge (password-based authentication) or the utility of a token (photo ID cards, magnetic strip cards and key-based authentication), are less reliable because of loss, forgetfulness and theft.
