Personal Authentication Using Signature Recognition

In this paper, a problem of personal authentication through the use of signature recognition is described. The methods of verification include both online (or dynamic) and off-line (static) signature verification algorithms. The dynamic methods covered, are based on the analysis of the shape, speed, stroke, pen pressure and timing information. While the static methods involve general shape recognition techniques. The paper gives a brief historical overview of the existing methods and presents some of the recent research in the field.
