Abstract

Handwritten Signature Verification (HSV) systems are widely used to verify the authenticity of a user signature automatically. In offline systems, the handwritten signature (represented as an image) is taken from a scanned document, while in online systems, pen tablets are used to register the signature, characterized by several dynamics (e.g., its position, pressure and velocity). The main contribution of this work is to present a new online HSV system that is designed to run on low-end mobile devices. Towards this end, we report the results of an experimental evaluation of our system on different online handwritten signature datasets with low-end mobile devices.

A preliminary version of this paper was presented at the 2nd International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy [13].
