Abstract

Biometric technologies provide important components in the
development of systems for the regulation of on-line information access.
Significant application areas exist and continue to grow for these technologies.
In this invited paper, a number of key issues will be addressed concerning
handwriting verification and its place within a multi-modal biometric system.
We shall identify some strategies and techniques for improving the reliability of
the handwritten signature as a biometric modality based on a modular approach
to feature analysis. We shall provide an overview of current developments in
automatic signature verification, in particular defining research strands which
are likely to support the translation of robust signature verification techniques
from the laboratory to the market place. A number of current research topics in
automatic signature verification will be covered including issues in assembling a
database of “live” signature samples, enrolment validation and management of
system design complexity.
