Usability analysis of a handwritten signature recognition system applied to mobile scenarios

Along with the necessity to solve the problems due to the misuse of biometric systems and thus the consistent increase in the final products error rates, a usability evaluation on handwritten signature recognition was carried out. Furthermore, according to the popularity of mobile devices and the market trends, the evaluation was performed signing in mobile scenarios with smart phones, tablets and other common mobile devices. This study reveals interesting results correlating habituation and preferences with better or worst results and it shows the need of involve the user more incisively in the development of biometric solutions, not only for comfort issues but for better systems throughput.
